Clear ideas for helping a grieving child

With the recent death of my former sister-in-law, my 7-year old nephew needs help dealing with, well, everything. He moved to a different town, started a different school, lives a different life all in addition to losing his mom. Nobody in our large extended family knew how to deal with the whole concept of helping a grieving child. It just wasn't something we ever had to handle, thankfully. Then I got this book. It's clearly written and provides actual ideas and approaches that we find working. We're helping my nephew get through some of the anger, internalizing, and just general sadness with the help of this book. It also explains a lot of what we see him doing - something we all needed with this foreign concept. If you have a young one who needs this kind of help, this book is money well spent.
