Jodie and others interested in books on loss and the grief process,

The New York Times Parent's Guide to the Best Books for Children is a great 
source. Every library should have this large volume.  You will see a Special 
Subject Index, in which many books are listed specifically about death, also 
about divorce and other losses.

One of those books listed is a favorite of mine because it deals with a loss 
that almost every child has experienced:  the death of a pet.  The Tenth Good 
Thing About Barney by Judith Viorst.   Published in 1971 and still as 
pertinent as it was then.  Aladdin. 

And for adults who are seeking to counsel and console their children about 
loss, there is a new book, written by Ted Bowman, who has worked for years in 
family literacy and family counseling: Finding Hope When Dreams Have 
Shattered.  This can be ordered from Bowman at 2111 Knapp Street, St. Paul, 
MN. 55108-1814.  Phone 651-645-6058.


Bless you for not being afraid to deal with this subject.
