I’m starting a new post category for books I recommend. This will include only books that have made an impression on me as a reader and books that I believe will help others in some fashion. Choosing a book to read is a very personal matter. Some choose romance novels, others poetry. Still others prefer to read crime fiction and others political non-fiction. That’s what makes books so popular; there is something for everyone.

 CLOSE TO MY HEART is a children’s book written by Susan Foley, M.D., a pediatrician whom I know personally, and her daughter Regen, both of whom know what it’s like to grieve a loved one. The book is a beautifully illustrated workbook for children who often feel alone and unable to cope after losing a parent or other loved one - even a precious pet. The authors hope the book will help not only the grieving child but the parent or caregiver in dealing with the most painful experience one can have. This workbook gently guides children through the grieving process with colorful illustrations and simple exercises to help the child express and understand their feelings.

If you know someone who is faced with this difficult challenge, please tell them about CLOSE TO MY HEART,  or buy a copy for them as a gift. Available on Amazon.com, or you can order a copy from the author by e-mail: totdr@comcast.net.
