Grieving Children perceive our world and process their grief differently than adults. Border Mountain author Jennifer Leandra Collier is creating a series of sensitive books to help a child heal from grief. "This Hurts" - A Children’s Guide-Journal to Death and Grief, is the first in the series and is appropriate for children aged 5-9. Sensitively written and wonderfully interactive, this workbook gently leads a grieving child through the process of healing after a major loss. A must-have book for hospice families that include young children.
For any child who has lost a parent, grandparent, brother, sister or friend, this book provides a chance to explore things that sometimes adults don’t know how to talk to kids about. Sensitive, creative, and wise, "This Hurts" helps children make sense of the pain of loss and express their feelings about it in a healthy way.

NEW: The second book in Jennifer's series is now available. "This Hurts" When We Love and Lose a Pet specifically addresses healing for a child grieving the loss of their favorite pet.

About the Author: Jennifer Leandra Collier, a filmmaker, writer, and artist, has worked in the area of personal healing for many years, translating her own childhood experiences with grief and loss into helpful healing tools for children and adults alike. Jen is currently writing one more children's grief book.
