Description
Something Very Sad Happened is a gentle guide for two- and three-year-old children to understand death and process their emotions. When a loved one dies, it can be hard to know how to explain it to a young child, especially when you're feeling sad yourself. This book helps by explaining death in a way that's easy to understand, reassuring children that it's okay to feel sad, and letting them know they can still love the person who died. The story is designed to be personalized, with certain words color-coded in red to help you substitute with the names and pronouns of the person who died. This makes it easier to talk about the loved one who has passed away in a way that feels right for your child. The book also includes a helpful Note to Parents and Caregivers with advice on how to talk to children about death, answer their questions, and support them at funerals and when visiting cemeteries. This book is a valuable resource for families who are coping with the loss of a loved one, and is an important tool for helping young children understand and process their emotions.
