Description

Death is a hard concept for anyone to understand, especially children. Where does the loved one go? Will they still remember me? What is heaven like? Someone I Love Is in Heaven Now answers these questions in a way that is both fun and comforting to an aching, little heart. Not only does the book make the deceased loved one come alive, but it also shows what a true friend and confidant, we all have in Jesus. Since the little ones are not reading this book themselves, it is also written to provide hope and guidance for the adult that is reading to them, since they have also lost a loved one. Even adults need to be reminded that they are not alone and that God is only a prayer away at the lowest of times. At the end of the book are tools that adults can use to help little ones through the grieving process. There are tips and questions that adults can use to begin a conversation with the child. There is also a short prayer the two can pray together and Bible verses that offer comfort to those in mourning. Although the book was written about "Grandma," that name is in a different color so that the reader can easily change the name to personalize the story for the child.
