When a loved one dies, it can be difficult to know how to help children cope with the loss, particularly as you work through your own grief. It is important to understand that children and adolescents cope differently than adults because the part of the brain responsible for judgment has not fully developed yet. This can cause inconsistent or very intense emotional responses.


This audiobook, written and narrated by Laura King, will help you provide caring support for your children and adolescents affected by this process of life. The session will teach young individuals to use their wonderful imagination and become free, happy, and secure as they are guided to a peaceful place that allows them to release all the angry, fearful, sad, and negative thoughts they are carrying around and as they regain control over their emotions.


Begin by sitting with children as they listen to this audiobook. When you feel they are ready, you can play it at night while they sleep as a gentle way for their minds to deeply absorb the information.
