Finding Joy for Tomorrow: Helping Children Cope with Crisis or Loss

Many adults struggle with the best way to communicate a loss or traumatic event to children, no matter the age or stage of development. Before they can assist in the best way possible, adults must first understand the signs, symptoms, and reactions to a crisis, grief, or loss. In a collection of five inspirational stories and applicable tools, Vickee Martin shares several examples where children and their families must face heartbreak, challenges, and other obstacles, and then find a way to cope. Through her stories and biblical insights, children and their parents, grandparents, or other caregivers learn that all reactions are not the same, and that it is okay to rely on different methods to self-soothe and begin the healing process. Included are effective, age-specific coping strategies that can be applied throughout a child's lifetime. Finding Joy for Tomorrow shares short inspirational stories and coping strategies that help parents and other adults identify a child's age-specific reactions to loss or a crisis.
