Wouldn't it be nice if no one needed this book? A book about grief, pain and loss. But we do need it. Death, grief and loss touch all of us, at some point in life, just as they touch those we care the most about. This book is an invitation to sit together and let some of that pain out. Hear from others who have experienced stillbirth, miscarriage, the loss of a friend due to suicide, the loss of a spouse, a mother, a child, a sibling, a father, a friend, a grandparent. Each loss touches in a different way. Permission to Mourn is a safe space to sit, to process, to begin to heal because facing loss can be devastating, but maybe some of the burden of deep sorrow can be lifted if we sit together as we mourn.

A compassionate resource for friends, parents, relatives, teachers, volunteers, and caregivers, this series offers suggestions to help the grieving cope with the loss of a loved one. Often people do not know what to say—or what not to say—to someone they know who is mourning; this series teaches that the most important thing a person can do is listen, have compassion, be there for support, and do something helpful. This volume addresses what to expect from grieving young people, and how to provide safe outlets for teens to express emotion. Included in each book are tested, sensitive ideas for “carpe diem” actions that people can take right this minute—while still remaining supportive and honoring the mourner’s loss.
