Acts of caring and compassion can make all the difference in a
grieving child's life. Adults can often worry about saying and
doing the right thing, too often giving children quick answers
instead of the support they really need.Widely-recognized grief
specialist Harold Ivan Smith explains that quick answers are not
what children need when they are grieving. They need support, and
most of all they need to be allowed to grieve-for as long as it
takes.With an ABC-like approach, Smith offers insights and
activities for the parent, teacher, or friend-anyone that loves a
child and wants to offer his or her support. This new and revised
edition of When a Child You Love is Grieving will help ensure that
the child is receiving the healthy and necessary outlets during the
loss of a loved one.
Do you love someone enough to let them go?It was love at first
sight when talented art student Felicity "Flick" Johnston-Hart and
Jim MacDuff's worlds collided at Oxford University. However, after
years of blissful marriage, everything crashes down when their
marriage comes to a painful and abrupt end, thanks to Flick's
interfering mother Penelope. Finally succumbing to maternal
pressure, Flick falls into the high-flying career her mother
believed she was destined for. However, she soon realises life
without Jim isn't all she'd hoped, and that some decisions, once
made, cannot be undone. Meanwhile, Jim is settling back into life
as a single man in the beautiful Highland village of Shieldaig,
when an unexpected visitor brings painful news. A letter from
beyond the grave leads him to do something he never imagined and
takes him on a journey he didn't anticipate. Can either of them
heal and truly move on? Or is it true that a broken heart can never
be a blank canvas? This book was previously published as Through
the Glass. Praise for Lisa Hobman: 'I love it! - escape to the
