Love the we you walk through the process
of his death. My grandchild's father was not sick
when he passed, but my grandchild had the same questions. The tips at the end of the book, are really helpful, I had the child use the cuts, to make their own story about the dad.

Deb, you have a way of making me
feel ok. This co-parenting life is not easy.
Sometime, my ex can make it seem like
I'm doing everything wrong, but you
helped to understand both sides
of our emotions. I know we'll be ok
