Can you suggest a book that will help a 10 yr old boy deal with his grandpa's death?

Maria Shriver (of the Kennedy clan) wrote a children's book about this exact subject. Lord knows the Kennedy's have experienced tragedy and death more than the average family. I can't remember the name of it, but I am sure it is listed in any biography under credits on the internet. From what I've heard, it is an excellent book dealing with this subject and children.

First of all, let me extend my condolences to you and your family. This is a difficult time, especially when you have young children. My son was not quite three and a half when my father died unexpectedly. I didn't know what to do, what to say to him, and whether or not he should attend the funeral. Here are two websites that have some very practical advice you can use immediately. http://childrentoday.com/resources/articles/death.htm http://hospice-cares.com/hands/children.html And this book sounded like a good resource for you: Letting Children Grieve by Jane Brooks http://www.myprimetime.com/family/parenting/content/daddy_grave/index.shtml And here are several books recommended for 8-10 year olds: BOOKS ABOUT DEATH FOR GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN Early readers will enjoy reading the above titles for themselves. For ages 8 to 10, try these titles: Grover by Vera and Bill Cleaver Ten-year-old Grover attempts to deal with the changes his mother's death made in his life in some serious and some funny ways. (Fiction) The Remembering Box by Eth Clifford Nine year old Joshua's weekly visits to his beloved grandmother on the Jewish Sabbath give him an understanding of love, family, and tradition which helps him accept her death. (Fiction) My Daddy Died and It's All God's Fault by Sue Holden Young Chris tells his story - his feelings of sadness, anger, false guilt, and confusion - to help other young people know they are not alone.
