Grandpa's Window
Grandpa's Window | Laura Gehl
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Every window at the hospital faces dull, gray buildingsexcept the one in Grandpas room. Grandpa can see the ocean every day! When Daria visits, she and Grandpa look out at the beach, hoping they will build sandcastles and fly kites together again. This touching exploration of a childs experience of loss offers an unexpected ending, encouraging creativity and self-expression in the midst of grief. Grandpas Window addresses the grieving process, both as a family member approaches the end of life as well as after death. The book includes a note for adults by Dr. Sharie Coombes (www.drsharie.com), child and family psychotherapist, about how to support children who are grieving the loss of a loved one. A discussion and activity guide for children written by Laura Gehl will be available February 2023 at flyawaybooks.com/resources.

4 ⭐ Grandpa is in a car center and Daria visits him often. The reader experiences Daria‘s loss of her grandfather as he gets worse and eventually passes away. This book does an excellent job of pointing out how to keep love alive and still feel and love people after they are gone. It‘s a sad book, but one that focuses the topic and makes it easier to understand and give children a way to cope with loss.

Gissy I think it will be a helpful resource. ❤️ 13mo
