Judy witnessed the loss of a sibling through the eyes of his youngest son and wanted to share some of the issues, emotions, concerns, and questions that may arise in a young child after such a loss. Judy’s family began fund raising to fight brain tumors and she has now chosen this avenue to help families suffering with this devastation.

Speaking about the book, Judy said: “Some children will be very vocal about their feelings while others will not shed a tear nor want to talk. He sees your friends embracing you, but his friends are not allowed to come play right now.”

”Not knowing how to deal with grief, he may lash out in frustration. Adults are whispering and not sharing with him. He may feel confused about his parents crying or they may become over protective.”

”He is afraid to talk about the things that scare him. We have protected him from the details of his siblings illness, the accident, the actual death. Allow yourself to go through all the stages of grief and help your child to do the same”, she said.
