You never know when you will have to deal with death and it is such a difficult topic to explain. This video is very well done and a good thing to have on hand. The great part about the DVD is that that is explains different beliefs without taking sides or forcing an agenda.

​This DVD is for anyone who works with kids in Grief, ages five through early teens. As a Christian, I have looked for a video Grief presentation for almost 15 years finding little to nothing. If you have been disappointed finding something in the "Christian" media, you can be assured this secular DVD covers all the bases - Denial, Anger, Barganing, Depression, Acceptance, and Hope. We have been using Trevor Romain's DVDs, which use animation, live action, and wonderful music, for the past three years. Several parents have bought a copy for themselves. This DVD has a "live" session where Trevor speaks directly to a group of kds; Every adult should see his talk on death and grief! NOTE: For a Divorce Recovery for Kids/Teens DVD, take a look at Trevor Romain's "Taking the 'Duh' Out of Divorce" Mr. Romain, keep up the excellent work.
