“Angel Catcher for Kids:" A Journal To Help You Remember The Person Who Died by Amy Eldon

This weekend I’m coordinating a grief camp in the Sonoma Redwoods called Camp Erin. We will have 55 kids between the ages of 6-16 who have lost a loved one, most a mother or father. I have learned a lot about grief since I was hired for this job six months ago. I have learned that children process grief in a different way than adults, and they deserve special support and attention to help them heal. This is one of the books we use at our Camp Erin for the youngest participants. Angel Catcher for Kids is a journal that invites the reader to record memories of the special person who died. I love journaling, and have always kept a diary since elementary school. So while designed for kids, this lovely book appeals to me as well. I was also thinking of getting it for my young nieces and nephews who are dealing with the loss of their grandpa, my dad. If you know a child who is dealing with grief, or are struggling with a recent loss yourself, The Angel Catcher might provide a creative way to express your sadness while enjoying rich memories.  To purchase this book on Amazon click here.
