The book demonstrates the hopeful stance the young take in response
to ordinary suffering and significant trauma when adults talk with
them about their losses. Its underlying themes convey the truth
that loss and recovery are normal in the process of growing to
maturity. It examines the strength of the child's capacity for
resilience through partnerships with adults who allow children to
focus on the loss and tell the story of its meaning to someone who
really hears it. The authors agree that adults need to perceive
their own losses so that their attentiveness to the young is
informed by wisdom that comes through self-understanding, but also
agree that many adults do not offer that help to children because
they believe it will make matters worse. The book reveals this fear
as a false notion by dealing with childhood traumas such as
acquired disability, warfare, HIV/AIDS, death of one's parents and
cultural dislocation. The authors are experienced practitioners who
provide practical and theoretical insight into the dynamics of loss
and recovery. The book offers hope for those who live and work with
children and youth through its studied approach to addressing loss
by describing young people's potential to work towards wholeness
even in the face of fundamental losses to their security. This book
was published as a special issue of the International Journal of
Children's Spirituality.
