Children have long been the 'forgotten mourners'. This book attempts to raise awareness of the issues involved for bereaved children, highlighting their needs and their emotional and behavioural responses when a bereavement occurs. Adults have to be made aware of the need to include children in the mourning process in a positive and non-threatening way. Each section gives easy access to the relevant information, and the books clear and concise presentation of practical guidelines will be of use to teachers, social workers and all those working in the field of child bereavement, particularly when faced with difficult situations. The book concludes with an outline of working methods and provides a useful resource list.
