LIFETIMES: THE BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN DEATH TO CHILDREN BY BRYAN MELLONIE AND ROBERT INGPEN I’ll always share these memories with you.īeautiful book with a beautiful suggestion on how to process grief.

My first time on a roller coaster, trying a new sport, exploring a new place. I’m listening to every word imagining you laughing with us. I also like this part: Today, I’m asking everyone about their favorite memories of you. Then I find the perfect thing for my memory box. I go to places that help me think of you. This starts with someone missing someone who died, and wondering what happens when someone is gone - do you forget that person? So this person comes up with an idea – to make a memory box of that person. You can buy it through AMAZON or BOOK DEPOSITORY (free shipping worldwide). Then they process together, and remember her in their own ways. Was she gone because he was naughty? Later on, his dad explains that when someone dies, that person cannot come back anymore, because his/her body doesn’t work. Then he became angry – that other children have moms. He tried looking for her, but he couldn’t find her. It starts with him and his dad saying goodbye to his mom, but he doesn’t know why. It talks about the feelings of the child. This is probably my favorite in the list. It’s also my list in case somebody else we love passes on, or even when a pet or any living thing dies.

I have this all in my WHEN I DIE File, but for this post, let me share with you my chosen readings just in case. We do a lot of things throughout parenthood that may be hard, may seem useless while it’s done, but become very useful and fruitful in time, just like life insurance.Īnd these books? These are also my insurance – in case I pass away too soon and my son (and husband even) need help in processing their thoughts and feelings. Giving birth as natural as possible is your insurance for a healthier child in general. Your prepared environment is your insurance to fall back on when things get frustrating and disorderly. And I realized that many of the things we do as parents are somewhat kinds of insurance. When we hear the term insurance, we tend to think of only one thing: that policy you get so that when you die, your loved ones will have enough money to help them get back on their feet while mourning their loss.
