by Linda Goldman
For decades, Life and Loss has been the book clinicians have relied on for a full and nuanced presentation of the many issues with which grieving children grapple, as well as an honest exploration of the interrelationship between unresolved grief, educational success, and responsible citizenry.
This classic edition, which includes a new preface from the author, brings this exploration firmly into the twenty-first century and makes a convincing case that children’s grief is no longer restricted only to loss-identified children. Children’s grief is now endemic; it is global. Life and Loss is not just the book mental health professionals need to understand grief in the twenty-first century—it’s the book they need to work with grief in a practical and constructive way.
Linda Goldman is the author of several books, including Breaking the Silence: A Guide to Helping Children with Complicated Grief and Raising Our Children to Be Resilient: A Guide to Helping Children Cope with Trauma in Today’s World. She has been an educator in the public school system as a teacher and counselor for almost 20 years and has a private grief-therapy practice in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
"This book is user friendly and the index is so clearly laid out you can dip in and out of it very easily, supported by multiple references and websites which are recommended throughout to support the reader." — Valerie Keane, Bereavement Care
"This book is masterfully written and comprehensive in its coverage of a broad range of loss issues for children and their families. Goldman clearly states a variety of problems, and those are followed by well-documented strategies and solutions. She provides a vast number of useful community contacts as well as wide-ranging print and electronic resources. This is a major contribution for people helping grieving children and their families—and for the families themselves." — J. Shep Jeffreys, EdD, FT, author of Helping Grieving People
"From death and divorce to immigration and cyber-bullying, Goldman views the losses of childhood through a wide-angle lens and dispenses compassionate advice. Life and Loss speaks practically to parents, teachers, counselors and the rest of us, offering a trove of recommended books, insights and web sites that support those who support grieving children." — Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, coeditor of Grief and the Expressive Arts
