Author: Stephanie Seidler

When a person has died,
they can no longer walk.
Their whole body stops working,
they can’t even talk.

You will no longer see them,
it’s painful-that’s true.
It might take you some time
while you’re working it through.

Written in rhyme, and using real language to describe real events, When Someone You Love Has Died is a secular children’s picture book that gently walks children through a traditional experience they may encounter after the death of a loved one.

When Someone You Love Has Died validates your child’s observations and feelings, while also providing strategies to support their ability to cope and to grieve. At the end of the book is a special “Note to Parents” section that helps guide caregivers through these difficult conversations and experiences they may face with their child after a loved one has died.
