Simple, pocket-sized and beautifully illustrated, this coloring book helps children and adults alike understand and facilitate the natural process of grief resolution. Lynea Gillen writes with a deep understanding of the healing process from her years of experience counseling children and adults. Her warmth, compassion and guidance shine through the pages of this book.

Emotional loss is part of the human condition and, though painful, is part of our growth into caring, compassionate adults. Learning how to grieve frees us to be fully alive, to embrace all of life, and to move beyond anger and pain and into acceptance.

Like the support of a good friend, Little Book of Healing: A Coloring Book for Grief and Loss provides heartfelt wisdom and soft, soothing images that help children move through the process of grief.
