My Good Grieve

People always say, "Kids are so resilient..." Are you one of those "resilient" kids? Or, if you are an adult supporting a child through their grief, were you also once one of those seemingly "resilient" kids? My Good Grieve is a children's book about grief and loss that gives kids the space and guidance to grieve and express themselves in a healthy way. It's especially great for kids who've felt silenced to keep up the appearance of being so strong and resilient. Sometimes that can lead to us not dealing with our tough experiences in a healthy way, and not realizing that we or the young people we support might be going through some serious stuff. That unhealthy way of coping follows us into adulthood. Marceia Cork's simple G.R.I.E.F. method and exercises give young people a toolkit to navigate life after loss, trauma, or just plain old hard times. A lot of times, we replay painful memories in our heads the same way, and we don't talk about them. But My Good Grieve gives kids the control and courage to see things differently-to expand how they remember things, to create new, positive images in young minds, and to structure healthy statements to communicate feelings and the support they desire. Marceia knows that not everyone wants traditional therapy and clinical solutions, and that sometimes we need a path that can be non-clinical and self-paced. This is My Good Grieve: a book about giving young people-and the adults who support them-the social and emotional learning tools they need to take action and control along their mental health journey.
