The Glow - Life, death & the light within - Paperback

A story to help with navigating the concept of death for children.

Inside every person and every living thing shines a beautiful, loving glow. This unique light connects us to everything around us, guiding us through life with love and warmth. But one day, the glow must return home-a natural part of the journey we all share.

The Glow is a poetic story that gently introduces children to the concepts of life, death, and the light within. Through rhythmic verses and evocative imagery-like twinkling stars and inner glows-it reassures young readers that loved ones never truly leave us. Their light lives on in memories, in our hearts, and as part of our own glow.

The book includes comprehensive parent/teacher notes with guidance on:

• Understanding grief (it's not just sadness-children may show it through behavior changes)
• Being honest: Use clear words like "died" to avoid confusion
• Supporting grieving children: Give space, hugs, and reassurance it's not their fault
• Ways to remember loved ones: Memory boxes, photos, or talking about happy times

This spiritual yet inclusive approach adapts to your family's beliefs-whether viewing the "light" as a soul, energy, God, or divine love.
