Marion Donon has written a fictional conversation between a mother and a boy who has just lost his grandfather.
This story, profound and pertinent, helps the reader to deal with key elements relating to the concepts of grief and death: sadness, loneliness, memories, our own mortality etc.
It is a useful educational tool for a bereaved child, but also for parents who are looking for support when faced with their children's questions and emotions.

"Gramps" is a short story whose message is relevant for children of this age group. It is pertinent in its description of life after the loss of a loved one, and the fact that the departed remain with us spiritually for as long as we think about them.
