Resources

In the aftermath of a death, many of us struggle to find resources for our kids, friends, neighbors, students, and ourselves. Listed below are resources, tip sheets, comforting words, and other information that we hope is helpful.

More handouts, tip sheets, and books are availble at our office. We also have a lending library and literature theme kits (very helpful for daycare providers and elementary teachers) available for checkout--please feel free to contact us for more information.
