AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical guide to grief and hard times

Elizabeth Vercoe’s guide addresses grief, loss and difficult periods through practical ideas, stories, tips and advice. It speaks both to children experiencing a hard time and to those hoping to support someone else. The title’s reassurance that sadness is okay sits alongside the book’s emphasis on finding ways through hardship; its description also notes that some parts may bring a smile. The focus is on acknowledging difficult feelings while offering suggestions for meeting them, rather than treating grief as something to face alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children seeking ideas and support around grief, loss or other hard times.
  • Adults looking for ways to support a child experiencing grief or loss.
  • Families seeking a shared resource for conversations about difficult feelings.

It's actually a practical, compassionate guide full of strategies and ideas to support yourself or someone else through grief, loss and hard times.

In some parts you might even find yourself smiling.

Most importantly of all - the stories, tips and advice in these pages are a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is a way through.
