Abstract
Children who have lost a parent will benefit from reading a story that helps them cope with the loss of a parent and the emotions they feel during the grieving process. The focus of this research project is a child's resiliency to the loss of her father. It is during the grieving process that the book created as a part of this research project will help children understand that what they are feeling is normal and that life goes on after loss.
This research project is a realistic fiction, free-verse novel that captures the emotions, feelings, and thoughts of an 8 year old girl who lost her father. The poetry book is written in first-person, by the researcher, from her daughter's point-of-view. The focus of this book is the implementation of a strength-based approach to the grieving process which allows bereaved children the resiliency to handle death and move forward in life.
