Helping Children Grieve Through Sacred Actions and Images - Paperback

by Michelle Ryan (Author)

This book artfully shares stories of resiliency that are volunteered from her own life on how to create boundaries, like the grieving tent that she designed on her farm to give grief a space in her life. This book is a guide for those who want to join the secret circle of helpers. The format of this book offers layers of healing by exploring the transitory aspects of everyday life. These potent stories offer credible images of how resiliency can be built through practicing during the hardest parts. Michelle creates an accessible path to facilitate multi-generational support in the family system. As a special education teacher, she gently shares how to guide a student touched by loss to begin to experience their own agency in the educational system. She even playfully expresses dissatisfaction with sacred tantrums.
