Fire Buddy by Madeleine Schachter Pdf

The story is designed to supplement the murmurings of consolation when one must explain death to a child. When Mike, Timothy's firefighter friend, dies, Timothy's mother and Mike's colleagues affirm that Mike was lucky to have had Timothy for his friend. The loss is explained and the sadness is acknowledged, as the child is also assured that he enhanced the life of another and that in time happy memories will persist amidst the sorrow.The current market for children's books about death is replete with parables. Tess' Tree, by Jess Brallier, for instance, describes the funeral Tess holds for her favorite tree. Susan Varley's Badger's Parting Gifts talks of woodland animals remembering their friend's kindness and friendship after his death. The works are meant to entice the child to extrapolate the circumstances to his or her own efforts to cope with loss. Other works offer more direct explanations about death itself. Lifetimes: The Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children, by Bryan Mellonie, explains that everything has a beginning and an end. When Dinosaurs Die, by Laura Krasny Brown, discusses the ways in which someone might die and describes funerals and other customs.Fire Buddy complements works that currently are available but fills a critical gap. The story propounds a crucial message that is not included in other works: in times of immeasurable grief, some semblance of solace lies in the conviction that one enhanced the life of another.The book resonates with all religions, is relevant regardless of the cause or circumstances surrounding a particular death, and resonates regardless of the age of the deceased and his or her relationship to the child.The story concludes with a "Discuss and Discover" guide for parents and caregivers. Questions and responses lay a framework to discuss the key messages of the story.e

Breaking the Silence by Linda Goldman Pdf

The second edition of this bestselling book is designed for mental health professionals, educators, and the parent/caregiver, this book provides specific ideas and techniques to work with children in various areas of complicated grief. It presents words and methods to help initiate discussions of these delicate topics, as well as tools to help children understand and separate complicated grief into parts. These parts in turn can be grieved for and released one at a time. A new chapter is included, called "Communities Grieve: Involvement with Children and Trauma." It includes information on The Taiwan Earthquake and how the community worked with children, a school bus accident in which 36 elementary school children witnessed the death of the bus driver that was driving and how the school system worked with these children and their families; a boy who was running on a cross country team and got hit by a car, which was witnessed by teammates; and how a non-profit community grief agency worked with family, school, and community. The last study is from the Oklahoma bombing and the outgrowth of a place for the traumatized children and how they still work with kids and family today. This chapter then contains new activities to work with traumatized grieving children. The new edition also includes updated resources, books, curriculums, websites, hotlines and another new chapter on bullying and victimization issues. The chapter for educators has been expanded, including the coverage of topics such as at-risk students, gay and lesbian issues, and self-injurious behaviors.

Option B by Sheryl Sandberg,Adam Grant Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.
