Where is Mimi? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886852806)

The loss of a loved one is very difficult, and the emotional minefield can be difficult for most adults. However, the grief process for children can be increasingly more problematic. They do not have the emotional capacity to handle the loss nor the vocabulary to express their feelings regarding it. This can leave lasting scars and anxiety on their hearts and minds.

The inspiration for this book came from a conversation I had with my young granddaughter in the aftermath of losing her grandmother. She did not understand the concept that although her grandmother was no longer physically here, she would be with her in spirit throughout her life.

In the book Where Is Mimi? Mimi takes Zorie through the emotional minefield to prepare her for when she would no longer be there physically. She uses the elements of everyday life to convey to Zorie her continued presence in her life long after she's gone.

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8 NLT)
