It’s okay to feel sad Charlie Farley! is at the printers!!!
This story is slightly different; it introduces the concept of death and loss to children in a way that they can understand and supports them with ideas of how to deal with the loss of a loved one, both human and pet.
It is not designed to have all the answers but to be a springboard to initiate conversation on what is often a taboo subject in our society but if used sensitively and carefully it can prepare children for this event in their lives whenever that may be or can help them to move forward and deal with their grief if it has already happened. My vision is that this story will help adults to prepare and support children to face this difficult topic rather than it being ignored and causing greater trauma later on in their lives.
Please consider buying this book as an investment into the future of children you know; helping them to face death and process grief in a healthy way ensuring that they feel safe and secure to talk ‘stuff’ through and know that ‘It’s okay to feel sad!’
If you know of a professional or charity that could use this story please do share my website and details of where to buy the story with them.
