In Loving Memory: A Child's Journey to Understanding a Funeral and Starting the Grieving Process - Paperback

When someone close to her heart passes away, can a young kid learn how to mourn and heal?

Harper is really sad. One morning after she hears unhappy news that her grandma has died, the ten-year-old finds comfort in her mother's caring arms. And already missing her relative's kindness, she is inspired when encouraged to share her favorite moments of spending days together.

When it's time to start the funeral process, Harper wonders how she'll join her family in laying her grandmother to rest. And with supportive parents letting her decide what she wants to do, the devoted girl gets a chance to say goodbye in her own way.

With comforting language and warm illustrations, In Loving Memory guides little ones who struggle to understand their emotions and roles after the death of someone they hold dear. And in a well-balanced team-up, award-winning children's author Katherine Pendergast and funeral director Lacie Brueckner cover handling scenes from a visitation to an open casket service, and gravesite service.

In Loving Memory: A Child's Journey to Understanding a Funeral and Starting the Grieving Process is a beautifully empathetic children's picture book for helping explain personal loss to young readers. If you or your child like relatable characters, gentle conversation starters, and honoring loved ones, then you'll find solace in Lacie Brueckner and Katherine Pendergast's thoughtful approach.
