This book is a vital resource for children aged 5-10years old. Often when there is a loss in the family, the children are usually the last persons we look to share how they are feeling about the loss. As adults we try to shelter them and not "upset" them by whispering or not talking about the loved one who died. This confuses children as they often wonder why everyone is acting so different around them. This book helps kids to put their very own feelings into words.
I just bought this book and I would call it phenomonal! My kids will love using it to remember their beloved cousin. I highly recommend it to parents of kids who have lost someone close to them. It is sort of like a scrapbook with lots of room for journaling. It will be a treasure and keepsake for life.
As a partner to the adult version, this guided journal provides an opportunity for little ones to grieve in ways appropriate to their age and level of understanding. The prompts get them talking . . . the pages get them writing . . . the combination of the two is the recipe for healing.
My father recently passed away and my 7 year old daughter didn't know how to handle it. And it was hard for me to try to help her while I was so lost as well. This has been wonderful. We add entries together or she does it herself. It's been very comforting.
I love the colorful and sensitive way the author encourages the writer to express his/her feelings about the loss of a loved one.Initially the book was purchased as a tool to assist me as I talked with my children about the impending death of my grandmother, but after sharing some wonderful children's books about death and dying that were recommended by our darling children's librarian at our public library I decided I wanted them to focus on making more memories with her now. The Angel Catcher has been tucked away until after she passes, but I plan to purchase one for each child to create a keepsake of Great-Grandma.
This is a beautiful book but is geared towards younger kids. It states up to 10 but I think you are pushing the envelope a bit with 9 - 10 year olds, especially if they are boys. I loved the guided pages to help a child recall memories that are meaningful. It is also great at directing kids on how to express their feelings. We bought this as a gift for a friend of my daughter's who lost his sister in a car accident. I am hoping they use it and it is meaningful to them. It is really a lovely idea and a great book.
This is a great journal, perfect for children who have experienced loss of a loved one. For many of us, we're not sure exactly how to help the little grievers in our lives, other than to let them talk about their loss, ask questions, and affirm their grieving process. This journal, however, gives us something tangible to do with our grieving kids.My son (8 years old) read through this in one sitting and then picked one of the activities to do. He's not completing the book in order, but that's more than OK. Sometimes he'll go through a few months without picking it up, and then he'll do a few pages at once.Bottom line: this is a wonderful resource for children who have encountered unimaginable loss.
This is a fantastic memory book/journal for children who have experienced the death of someone in their life. It's beautifully written and illustrated and each page offers a new opportunity to remember and write about the person who died. Children can work on their journal alone or with the help of someone else. As the Program Director of the Mourning Star Center for Grieving Children, I continually have parents asking what they can do to help their children. This journal always comes highly recommended because it's something that the children can create and keep forever. This is a must buy! For teens and adults, I highly recommend Angel Catcher: A Journal of Loss and Remembrance. Angel Catcher: A Journal of Loss and Remembrance
