An unexpected loss can be difficult to explain to a young child, especially for grieving parents and caregivers. The Kitten That Didn't Get To Say Goodbye is intended to be read to children 3 and up to help them process the loss of a loved one. It's the story of Rascal and Bandit, two very playful kittens. Rascal's life ends unexpectedly, and Bandit experiences feelings of loss and grief. Bandit learns that thinking about good memories can provide lasting treasures and comfort to a broken heart. This book concludes with questions that encourage children to discuss memories of their loved one and prompts that will help them think of ways they can honor their loved one. "First, we LOVE your book! You touched on all the principles we believe here at Erin's House and did it with such precious tenderness. We've already given a few of your books away to families! We are excited to share with others your beautiful gift!" --Erin's House for Grieving Children Thank you so much for reading The Kitten That Didn't Get To Say Goodbye. Writing this book was very therapeutic for me.  I have found a powerful way to turn my pain, from losing Cloey, into purpose. I have dedicated my life to advocating for kindness and mental health awareness. To do this, I do two main things: writing children's books and journals and leading a Kindness Rock group in honor of Cloey. I am very determined to use my platform to positively impact families struggling with grief and help create a compassionate society that supports mental health services.   My hope for my readers is that this book creates a safe space for grief.  That this book creates conversations about the good memories of our lost loved ones and brings smiles to broken hearts.   Thank you for purchasing this book . If you enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review or recommending it to a friend. You may also want to check out my children, teen, and adult journals.  Fun fact, my youngest daughter helped me create the above book, and design the content and covers of all my children's journals.  We gave out proofs to the neighborhood kids and asked them what we should change, and voilà!   Thank you again for your support!    Taffie Jean Have you ever wanted to help others through difficult times?
