A practical guide to helping children name and process loss

H. Norman Wright’s guide addresses the many forms loss can take in a child’s life, from broken possessions and changes in friendships to bereavement, divorce, injury, and moving. It frames children’s fear, anger, confusion, and questions as responses that caring adults need to recognize rather than dismiss. The book explains signs associated with loss and unresolved grief, then concentrates on how parents can accompany a child through the grieving process. It also acknowledges an obstacle for many families: adults may not have been taught how to understand or talk through loss themselves. A parenting resource centered on emotional support, communication, and recovery after disruptive life events.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking guidance on discussing grief and loss with children
  • Caregivers supporting a child after bereavement, divorce, a move, or other major change
  • Adults who want practical help recognizing children’s responses to unresolved grief

It's Okay to Cry.

Look through the eyes of a child again. When something unexpected, disappointing, or traumatic occurs, children feel a very real sense of loss. They may respond with fear or with anger. Most likely they are confused. They have questions they want answered. They need help from their parents or others who care to understand and process their grief.

It's Okay to Cry offers practical help for parents. It explains the symptoms of loss and unresolved grief so that parents can recognize them and walk alongside their children on the path to recovery.

Well-known and respected author H. Norman Wright speaks to parents with sympathy and reassurance. He recognizes that most parents don't know how to teach their children to process loss, because often they weren't taught themselves. His sage advice will give you and your child the comfort and hope you seek.
