Why did she have to die?” “What will happen to us now?” We hear questions like these from our children when someone close to them dies. Writing for children ages 8-12 and their parents, William Coleman discusses the fears and questions that young people have when someone they love dies, perhaps a parent, grandparent, sibling, or close friend. He offers advice and support as they struggle to understand death and helps them work through the grieving process.
