Books and films can be a useful way of naturally introducing the subject of loss and death, helping children to better understand ....
'They all felt awkward and unhappy suddenly because it was a sort of goodbye they were saying, and they didn't want to think about it.
'Yes', said Pooh.
'When I'm ... when ... Pooh!'
'Yes, Christopher Robin?'
'I'm not going to do nothing anymore'
'Never again?'
'Well, not so much. They don't let you'.
Pooh waited for him to go on, but he was silent again.
'Yes, Christopher Robin?' said Pooh helpfully.
'Pooh,when I'm ... you know, when I'm not doing Nothing, will you come up here sometimes?'
'Just me?'
'Yes, Pooh'
'Will you be here too?'
'Yes Pooh, I will be really, I promise I will be, Pooh'.
'That's good,' said Pooh.
'Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred.'
'I promise.'
'Pooh, whatever happens, you will understand, won't you?'
Then Christopher Robin called out, 'Pooh'.

Jenni Thomas
"An exceptional book. From a Clear Blue Sky will help many who grieve to have a better understanding of themselves."
Jenni Thomas
"The book Spiritual Lives of bereaved parents became my constant companion in the years after Naomi died. It helped me stay connected to her, and mirrored my own feelings. It is a book you can dip in and out of and there is always something fresh. I also gained so much comfort from other parents words in it."
Nicki Whitmore
"This book is invaluable in the way it captures what bereaved children express. The illustrations in this book are so simple and perfectly highlight a child's view of the loss of a mother." Jenni Thomas
"Red Chocolate Elephants is a wonderful thought provoking resource, sensitively written by Diana to help children bereaved by suicide."
Jenni Thomas
"In 'My brother and Me' Rebecca Cobb has excelled in capturing what children need to hold their interest in a book when someone in the family is ill."
Jenni Thomas
