Tell Stories Together
Reading stories together makes wonderful memories. It builds relationship between children, parents and grandparents. Stories teach lessons that don't always reach them in normal conversations. Oh, and it's just plain fun to do. Take time to read to a child today--or have them read a story to you.
This book has been described as one that can help a child heal when there has been a death in the family. Erika's Angels, The Secret of the Locket is a story that deals with love remaining and growing even after death. It has been a useful tool for some children to help them understand and cope when a dear grandparent passes away. It can help in those multigenerational social situations that involve death and dying. The story itself is written by a child and grandmother and has an uplifting feeling, not a somber one. It really is about believing and loving one another. Thunder 'n' Lighting Explain What it's Like to Die...
