Natasha Daniels Releases The Book The Grief Rock
from Young Adult Authors Unplugged From Arroe Collins · host Arroe Collins
The death of a parent, sibling, or other important person in a child's life is one of the most frequently reported disruptive childhood experiences…and without appropriate support, can lead to adverse health and welfare outcomes. When Natasha Daniel’s healthy 42-year-old husband suddenly died of a blood clot, she and her three children were thrown into the darkness of grief. Her children experienced difficulty eating, sleeping, and focusing. People treated them differently and they lost some friends. They had to learn how to navigate in a world that felt upside down. Inspired by conversations with her own grieving children, Natasha Daniels wrote The Grief Rock: A Book to Understand Grief and Love. The Grief Rock goes beyond the surface platitudes that many other children’s grief books provide and offers validation of the physical and social implications one often experiences with grief. It also helps children understand that often our grief is so big because our love is so big.
