"Why Do I Feel So Sad? is a beautifully illustrated, helpful book
written in simple language that children can understand. The author
makes the important point that grief comes in many forms. The
helpful resource guide makes this a must-have for any family or
therapist's bookshelf!" --Amie Allain, PhD, Licensed
Psychologist
"As a children's therapist, I was blown away by Why Do I Feel So
Sad?. I believe it is a crucial book for all therapists to have in
their office. With vibrant, diverse illustrations and easy-to-read
words, children's emotions and experiences are normalized and
validated. Prompts and resources included in the book will
facilitate important and engaging discussion for families, and the
activities will help children further explore and understand their
grief." --Laura K. Calkins-Torres, MA, NCC, LCPC, ICDVP
"Grief is one of the most demanding emotions that we can ever feel,
and it is even harder to understand. Tracy does an incredible job
not only explaining grief but also in providing tools on how to
start the healing process. Why Do I Feel So Sad? was beautiful to
read--the illustrations, which included people of all cultural
backgrounds, tugged at my heartstrings. As a therapist, I recommend
this book for little ones who are battling with grief and as a must
for clinicians who treat children." --Andrea Gibson, LCSW (Licensed
Clinical Social Worker)
"This book does a great job of including many life situations where
a child may feel grief, the feelings and/or behaviors they may
experience, and ways to cope with it. I found this book to be very
validating, which will help the grieving process and allow kids to
know although it may not feel normal, it is normal. The author
really made this book an easy read; it is relatable and easy to
understand. I would recommend this book personally and clinically,
time and time again!" --Tara Cameron, LCSW, Licensed Clinical
Social Worker
"This book does an amazing job of addressing one of the more
difficult conversations to have with children. The broad topics
help illuminate the ways that grief shows up for even the youngest
child. The resources, activities, and conversation prompts expend
the book beyond just the front and back cover. I would highly
recommend anyone who works with or has children in their lives own
a copy of Why Do I Feel So Sad? in their personal library." --Megan
McKeegan, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor)
"This book is a valuable tool to help children process and
understand their grief. It helps them understand what grief is and
what it feels like in their body, and that it comes not just from
the loss of a loved one but a range of life changes: divorce, the
loss of a pet, moving, or the loss of friends. It normalizes the
feelings associated with grief and provides a wide selection of
coping skills to help support them through their overwhelming
emotions." --Joanna Loredo, Licensed Professional Counselor
