This book offers story medicine for children, families, and communities during times of grieving, loss, and separation. Stories and words have healing potential. They can strengthen us, help to reframe things, and help make meaning.
Included are stories for the loss of a loved one--a death in the family; loss of family connection--separation, divorce, adoption, foster children; loss of a pet; separation from home, country, or place; and loss of health and wellbeing.
The last section includes tales for the loss of nature and ecocide--eco-grief and eco-anxiety--and stories on cycles of life and change.
In addition to numerous original stories from Susan Perrow, the book includes stories from various countries and cultures by writers from diverse professions and backgrounds.
Each story includes a description of who the story was written for, the age group, and the situation. Using the power of metaphor and imaginative story journeys, combined with the sensitive art of 'listening', the stories in the collection offer a light in the night.
