Every one will lose someone closed to us someday. It's natural to questuion or be sad. "It's ok to cry when someone you like very much died"....I Rememebr Miss Perry In fact, I also lost someone who I love two years ago.Even I am an adult, I don't know how to deal with my emotion during that time. I bought several books about "death". I think this book encourage me a lot! This book help me to undersatnd that the most important thing is that we could always remember the fun things we and someone who we really love did together.
