Grief Nonfiction

When a furry friend leaves, the pain is enormous. You feel like you haven`t done enough for him, and that the time we spent together was too little... When my Spectrum left, I felt an indescribable pain, and I was only able to find consolation in the legend of the Bridge of the Rainbow. With this book of mine, I hope to help each of you overcome the pain of loss, and replace it with memory and hope.

Young children process grief very differently than adults, and sometimes there are physical sensations that are uncomfortable and can cause anxiety. This book is meant to be an introduction to identifying those physical feelings, starting with “butterflies” in the tummy, being unable to sleep, and having a tight chest. It is also intended to help young children learn how to deal with those feelings.

What you are about to listen to are Samantha’s thoughts and memories. My heart is saddened by anyone who has been in the deep depths of suicide. There is only one question, and that is WHY?! BUT THERE IS NO ONE THERE TO ANSWER!

Representing families of all backgrounds, I'll See You in Your Dreams Tonight shows children that they can still have adventures, both magical and mundane, with loved ones who have passed on—whether meeting amazing creatures in wild and far off places or simply sharing secrets together and telling each other stories.

Big Al and Annie join Fr. Joe Kempf in offering support for those days when life gets difficult. Young and old have to face some tough issues at times. Suffering is a part of life, but we don’t have to suffer alone. The prayers, reflections, and activities lead children and those who accompany them through difficulties toward hope. With hope comes healing. The message in Sometimes Life Is Just Not Fair reminds us that God is and will always be with us.
