It is very difficult to try to help children understand death. It is something that we all have to deal with someday. Saying Goodbye to Grandma is about a family dealing with the aging and death of their dear grandmother, mother to Emily's mother. You can modify this to your family's beliefs. It is from a Christian perspective. Emily learns that all living things, including our family members will someday die and go to heaven. The nest of robins that are outside Grandma's window helps her mother and father explain the process of birth, life and death. They compare the broken egg shells with the part of our body that is no longer living, and the birds flying up to heaven as the part of us that continues to live forever with Jesus in Heaven.

Poetry. South Asia Studies. TRYING TO SAY GOODBYE is the long anticipated third collection of poems by Adil Jussawalla, who continues to be a seminal figure in post-independence Indian poetry. Jussawalla's is a sharp yet intimate voice, fearless but melancholic, marked by a darting, wily syntax, bristling rhymes, and an original prosody. Here, he moves across time to address an array of histories, both personal and public. He lifts from and pays homage to poets, artists, drunks, vagabonds, and eccentrics, and writes through the deep materiality of everyday objects—a wristwatch, a radio, clay, wood, marble, a cloud, a fly—in reaching toward a further scale.

Losing an animal is devastating for young and old alike. Our pets are part of our family and for many losing them is like losing a family member. When we lost Lucky, our Golden Retriever, a dear companion who had been with us a long time, we were all devastated. Lucky was a key character in the very first Toby’s Tails book as Toby’s mentor, and I felt his passing couldn’t go unmarked. I like many others believe that animals have souls. When I read that the Zulu and Ndebele people who live in southern Africa believe that the stars are their dead ancestors watching over them, I thought that this was wonderful. So I decide to write this book believing that this would be a gentle way of explaining to children, the passing of a loved pet, or human family member, and a way for them to come to terms with their loss.I hope readers of this story will take away with them not only comfort and hope, but see it for what it is, a celebration of the character Lucky was, and will always be remembered as, every time we look at the night sky.

I didn't want to come, but she said it would make me feel less lonely for Dad...And you have a job to do there, she'd said witha stern look, as if I could ever forget what my dad had asked me to do.
