For Will, it was the best time of the year. But when an unthinkable tragedy takes his cousin, summer changes, and so does Will's whole world. He's scared. He's confused. He wants to know why bad things happen to people we love. This tender story follows Will as he learns that grief doesn't have easy answers, but it does have room for honesty, comfort, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten and illustrated with warmth, this book shows real, relatable conversations kids and parents have after a loss. When Will admits he's scared, his dad tells him it's okay to feel that way, because he's scared too. When Will asks Papa why this had to happen, Papa gives an honest answer: we don't always understand why bad things happen. And when Will hears the words \"love lives on\" at his cousin's funeral, he finds a simple way to keep his cousin's memory close. This is a story that helps children process grief and anxiety after loss, and helps parents, educators, and counselors know what to say when there are no perfect words.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eaddresses childhood grief with honesty and warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e doesn't shy away from hard emotions like fear, confusion, and sadness, helping kids feel less alone in their grief\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003emodels healthy conversations about loss\u003c\/strong\u003e shows parents and caregivers responding to a grieving child with validation instead of easy answers or false comfort\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eintroduces a comforting mantra for loss\u003c\/strong\u003e \"love lives on\" gives children a simple, meaningful way to hold onto memories of someone they've lost\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eperfect for families, classrooms, and counseling sessions\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for grief support groups, school counselor sessions, family read-alouds, and conversations after the loss of a loved one\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003etrusted publisher\u003c\/strong\u003e from Magination Press, the children's imprint of the American Psychological Association, dedicated to emotional well-being and healthy development \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dorena Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magination Press (R) -- American Psychologica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/4\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.1\" H x 8.2\" L x 0.5\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781433849541\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67449987694896,"sku":"9781433849541","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781433849541.jpg?v=1785830932","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/love-lives-on-finding-hope-and-healing-after-the-loss-of-a-loved-one-dorena-williamson-hardcover","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
