Blunt, honest and helpful, Independent Thinking on Loss draws on the moving experiences of Ian, William, Olivia and Phoebe Gilbert and provides schools with practical advice on what to do, what to do differently and what to never do when a child has experienced the death of a family member.
Schools are busy places, teachers are busy people, and talking about loss is not easy. The precious autobiographical insights and suggestions shared in this book allow time for reflection and to review whole-school approaches.
I've learned a lot from Independent Thinking on Loss, and will be adding it to our school's staff library.
