Why do people die? How do you explain the loss of a loved one to a child? This book is a compassionate guide for adults and children to read together, featuring a readalong story, answers to questions children ask about death, and a comprehensive list of resources and organizations that can help.
When someone you love dies, Earl Grollman writes, "there is no way to predict how you will feel. The reactions of grief are not like recipes, with given ingredients, and certain results. . . . Grief is universal. At the same time it is extremely personal. Heal in your own way." If someone you know is grieving, Living When a Loved One Has Died can help. Earl Grollman explains what emotions to expect when mourning, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to work through feelings of loss. Suitable for pocket or bedside, this gentle book guides the lonely and suffering as they move through the many facets of grief, begin to heal, and slowly build new lives.

Ein Buch, das Menschen hilft, ihre Trauer zu verwandeln und neue Lebensenergie zu finden.
Velký slon v malém pokoji, všichni o něm vědí, neumějí s ním nic udělat, ale také se o něm nedokážou bavit, mluví o všem jiném, jen ne o slonovi, kterého je plný pokoj. Tímto obratem začíná kniha pro dospívající lidi, kterým někdo zemře. Obraz dobře popisuje problém, s nímž se dnešní společnost potýká: umírají naši blízcí, my děláme, že to nevidíme, neumíme se navzájem utěšit, říci si pár milých slov, být spolu. Zůstaneme pak s velkým slonem v pokoji sami a nevíme, co si počít… Zvlášť těžké je to pro dospívající lidi a kniha na tento problém odpovídá. Krátké, výstižné a neupovídané úvahy, rady a otázky mohou velmi pomoci.
