Dealing with Loss is a recipient of Children's Rights Council's 1999 "Children First" National Award of Excellence.

Dealing with Loss is simply excellent. Too often we think that divorce is about anger and bitterness. We forget that underneath the anger is sadness and loss. Unless we allow ourselves access to these more deeply buried feelings, the wounds of divorce will not heal. This booklet is a treasure of wisdom and good practical advice to parents on how to help themselves and their children grieve divorce losses.

- Janet R. Johnston, Ph.D., co-author of Impasses of Divorce: The Dynamics and Resolution of Family Conflict and In the Name of the Child: A Developmental Approach to Understanding and Helping Children of Conflicted and Violent Divorce

This beautifully written booklet contains practical wisdom on how to help yourself and your children through the challenges of a family loss. I highly recommend it to parents, step parents, and grand-parents who are in the position of supporting children through change and loss.

- Elizabeth Hickey, MSW, author of Healing Hearts: Helping Children and Adults Recover From Divorce, and creator of award-winning video, Children: The Experts on Divorce
