When my husband
passed away, I looked for resources to help my children manage their
grief. Many resources were available for educating adults on
how to help grieving children; however, there were few resources for
children to help themselves. And, so began the birth of Once
Upon A Family: A Son's Journey of Love, Loss and Hope.
