The Grief Rock

The grief-rock metaphor is original and emotionally true in a way that abstraction rarely is for young children — the rock is heavy, it makes things hard, some people avoid you because of it, and it never fully goes away but becomes something you carry differently. That it comes from a child therapist who has also lived this grief as a bereaved spouse gives the book real authority. The adult note at the back makes it genuinely useful in both home and clinical settings.
