Book Review: For anyone who has loved and lost...for all of us!
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone has faced the death of a loved one. This story of a young girl's (11 years old) journey after the death of her father to cancer is uplifting, inspiring, practical, and encouraging. She tells her story, and then gently guides the reader to reflect on "their story" and to live their life in a way that honors their loved one. Although written to help children (specifically) with grief,I can think of dozens of adults I know that need to read her wisdom! She writes, "I am Daddy's legacy. This means that I am a part of him that lives on. Daddy was very courageous. If I live my life in a way that honors him, then he lives on in honor. Daddy wouldn't want me to become bitter and withdrawn over his death. He wanted me to have a good and happy life when he was alive, and he wouldn't want that to change now. So even though my life has changed, the values that Daddy taught me haven't. Daddy's death was a tragedy. But, it doesn't mean that my life is over. His life inspired me. His determination inspired me. I am so proud that he is my father." This book lifts the spirit. It is a treasure!
Summary of My Daddy & Me
An extraordinary book written by an eleven-year old from Shawnee Kansas about coping with the death of her father. It is a message that is insightful and inspirational. Lauren is especially good at telling young people about the grieving process - how it feels and what others can do to help support those who have suffered a profound loss.Death & Dying Books
