Editorial Review: Product Description: How Can I Help Papa? is an endearing illustrated children's story about a nine year-old girl and her terminally-ill grandfather. It was written to meet the emotional and educational needs of children, ages 6-12, with a terminally-ill loved one in their lives. Children need to know that feelings are OK, even the uncomfortable ones. It is important that they gently learn how to grieve and even have the opportunity to say goodbye. In a time of helplessness and uncertainty, children and their families need direction about the things that can be done to maximize their time together. They need reassurance and hope that they will get through this difficulty and that life will return to normalcy, even after the loss of their significant loved one. Average Rating:

A terrific resource to guide adults in just the right words and concepts to use to explain love, loss and death. A wonderfully open way of treating death as a part of life. Great for adults as well. As a social worker who works in the area of grief, I am very excited to have found such a treasure - a beautiful and positive book on a subject that our society tends to shy away from. Rating: - This story helps children to deal with death/dying.This book was a help when my children lost their grandfather. It also helped their cousins to deal with another loss in their life. Rating: - Helping your children deal with the loss of a loved one.Elissa Al-Chokhachy has created a heart-warming, caring, beautiful and, most importantly, useful book with "How Can I Help, Papa?" Through the eyes of a small child, this book tells the story of the loss of the child's Grandpa. It deals honestly and charmingly with the childs involvement in her beloved 'Papa's' dying (in a home hospice situation) , as well as her beginning the healing process after his death. The book does not seek to diminish the loss experienced by the youngster, rather, ... Read More
