About the Book:

When a family member or close friend dies, it is difficult for children to express their feelings.  It can also be difficult for caring adults to know how to support grieving children.  This is a workbook for children that gently guides them through the grieving process.  It has colorful illustrations and simple exercises which allow them to explore their feelings, offering positive guidance that their feelings are normal and that they will feel better with time.

Written by a pediatrician and her daughter (who experienced loss at age ten), this book helps guide and comfort children dealing with one of life’s most challenging issues. 

About the Author:

Susan E. Foley, M.D., F.A.A.P., is a board certified pediatrician who lives and works in South Florida.  Involved in many non-profit organizations which serve the welfare and mental health of children and families, she served on the board of several of these organizations.  Her husband died of cancer in 1998.  She found few resources available to help her daughter at this difficult time, so together they wrote this book to help other children faced with the death of a loved one.

Regen Foley is a student at Tulane University.  She has been involved in community service all of her life.  Regen lost her beloved stepfather to cancer on her tenth birthday.  In his honor, she founded and runs her own non-profit organization, The Sunshine Project, Inc.
