Most people don't know how or why we should encourage healthy grief in children.
Stories are a non-threatening way to shape, support, and provide ideas on how to grieve in a healthy way.
Jar of Tears is an award-winning fictional novel offering practical ideas within a Christian perspective to encourage healthy grieving in older children.
Handing a child a book about how another child handles grief and secondary losses lets them see how some kids respond to difficult life events.
It provides a template that the reader can accept, reject, or customize for their own grief and faith journey.
