by Children Feeling Pain From the Illness or Death of a Loved One

"My mom died when I was 5 years old and no one would let me talk about her except my Kindergarten teacher. I don't remember my mom, but I remember my teacher."

"A child's spirit is priceless. Robbie's spirit is now happy and vibrant, strong, confident and responsible. Thank you for helping me and Bob save the child and the young adult. This year could have torn our family apart but it didn't. The soul of this family is whole. Much of that we owe to Mrs. Pauline King and her staff. They were a godsend!"
Pat, step-mother to Robbie, whose biological mother died of cancer

"Other people are blown away by how openly I talk with my children about the illness and then the death. I've learned that it's important to be open with my children. Otherwise, they are all alone with their feelings and fears, they still know that something serious is happening but they are being left out and feel isolated. We need support and so do they."
Chris, mother of 2, whose husband died of cancer

"Honoring Pain is an insightful and vivid collection of stories and art, filled with expressions of fear, love, and loss. These personal accounts are very real what it must be like for a child to suffer and experience these changes witnessed, written, and drawn by a child."
Greg, father of 2, spouse of a leukemia survivor
