SonshineLearner Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi There, We're Christian, so either Christian... or perhaps without a theme that would go against that... looking for a book to explain that Grammy has Cancer... Hints? Thoughts? Suggestions?? My son and she are extremely close, and he's only 7. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sorry you have to deal with this. I don't know of any to suggest (hopefully others will) but just wanted to throw one thought out for you: books can be a useful jumping off point for talking about big or difficult issues, but don't underestimate the power of gentle and honest discussion where you open up the subject and just answer your child's questions as best you can. You don't have to appear to be infallible, even with the faith related aspects. If your 7yo asks why God would let Grammy get sick, it's OK to explain that many great philosophers and theologians have been pondering this for centuries, and not everybody agrees, but here are some ideas that you have...

Negin Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 So sorry. :grouphug: Just did a search on amazon and came up with this. As always, with amazon, once you scroll down, you'll see more suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
