One of my favourite books on grief is called A Shelter for Sadness by Anne Booth and David Litchfield. It's a kid's book but I think we all could do with creating our own shelter. The first line is Sadness has come to live with me and I am building it a shelter. I am building a shelter for my sadness and welcoming it inside......We need time and space to be with our grief and to honour it and our love. Grief is love. Take care of your tender heart at this time. Much love Clare from here in Cornwall Rosie xxx
that's also one of my favourites! i read to adults and children alike - I read it at a January Writing Hours and used it as a writing prompt .... left my last copy for a little lad in an infant school - it's beautiful. "Duck, Death and the Tulip", the Moomins and the Liittle Prince also have some great advice about bereavement and grief.
