As a grandparent, President of a Philanthropic Foundation and 50 year psychotherapist I would highly recommend that you buy The Mirror Box for your child, grandchild or their friends as a gift. It so sensitively addresses the largest taboo in our culture the death of a relative without dogma, blind belief and with the perfect heartfelt message and wisdom. It answers how do you keep someone you love alive when they die without having to give normal platitudes or black and white answers. Every child from 5 years old on would benefit from holding these thoughts and images at a time of great need. It also is an equally great message well before any loss occurs. For the many that are looking for the sensitive grounded way to address the subject, you will find this book appealing to guide you, no matter your age.

This wonderful story is perfect for helping your child deal with grief, emphasising that love is something that never goes away, and even if someone is no longer here physically, their love will always remain.

Provides helpful strategies to help process children's emotions around loss.
