520			_aThis workbook was written and illustrated by young people and teenagers who have experienced the death of someone close to them. It acknowledges burdens which might not be as pressing for younger children, such as worries associated with having less household money or feeling responsible for a parent or someone else in the family. The contributors offer advice, based on their own experiences, on how to cope with the practical and emotional upheavals of bereavement. This workbook is in two parts: the first section is on feelings, thoughts and the way things change after someone close has died, followed by ideas for things that may be helpful to young people when navigating the grieving process. One example is an illustration of a brick wall on which the participants have written their feelings after a bereavement, which include "worried I would not have anyone to talk to"; "angry"; "confused because no one was there"; guilty about having fun"; "lonely"; "frightened it might happen to someone else"; "worried everything might change"; "sad". Each of these common emotional responses to death is then elaborated on. The text is brief with lots of images and illustrations and so is very succinct. A blank wall illustration is included for the reader to record their own feelings, and there are prompts for other activities, such as sentences beginning with "I wish" to express regrets in a similar vein to the accompanying text ("When she was very ill I didn't hug her. Looking back I wish that I had."). Another example activity is for the reader to create a "First Aid" box for themselves, with assistance from suggestions that other bereaved young people have found helpful e.g. controlling nightmares, healthy ways of expressing anger, and joining a bereavement group. This workbook includes a listing of recommended books for younger and older children, and to be read with adults, plus boardgames (pages 75 - 77). The suggested contact organisations are British.
