In an August 29, 2016 Time article, Elegy With a Side of Applesauce, Sarah Begley ponders questions about helping children cope with the death of a loved one.
"How much can they understand about permanence? What should they be told about the possibility of an afterlife? How will they move on?"
Begley recommends a new children’s book, Applesauce Weather by Helen Frost, as an aid to parents and caregivers trying to address these issues. She describes the book’s value this way: "It presents a continuity between generations, showing kids how to value a life well lived, even as they anticipate the one about to unfold in front of them. That makes this pleasantly old-fashioned book an appealing resource for grieving kids and parents alike."
