My Whole Grief

My Whole Grief frames grief as a "hole" that follows a boy who lost his father. As he learns to co-exist with the hole, he begins to integrate grief into his life and find healing. Backed by clinical research and crafted with approachable language, My Whole Grief is the first children's book to explore children's grief utilizing an evidence based framework highlighting the process of adaptation to loss.
