You Love A Child Whose Heart Is Broken Your family is fragile, in the midst of grieving the loss of a loved one. Yet there is one particularly vulnerable mourner you must not overlook: your child. Children don't understand death and are confused by their feelings and questoins.: What is heaven like? Did I cause my grandma to die? If I talk about it, will it make you too sad? And the ultimate question: Why?

Writing from her personal experience of parenting her preschooler through the grief of losing his baby brother and her years of working with high-risk youth traumatized by grief and loss, Sharon Marshall offers

• Answers not only to your child's questions, but to yours, such as: Should I take my child to the viewing? Should my child see my tears? How do I answer my child's questoins when they cause me, or others, pain?
  
  
• Practical suggestions for dealing with the common effects of grief on children
  
  
• How to recognize and respond to hidden grief in your child
  
  
• Biblical insights into the grief process
  
  
• A reflection from Marshall's now grown son, Jeff Johnson, at the end of each chapter

"Life is not fair. Sharon and her son Jeff had to facd death too soon, the death of an infant. But . . . God is good. From their story, you will find healing, strength, and wisdom. Every parent, grandparent, and pastor will want a copy of this insightful, tender book."
— Robert H. Schuller
