Ashes to ashes. Overcoming all forms of loss

Loss is one of the most universal and difficult experiences we all face, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a pet, a dream, a job, or even a sense of identity. In this deeply compassionate book, Lesley draws from her own experiences, heartfelt reflections, and real-life animal stories to help children (and adults) make sense of grief and navigate the path of healing. Rather than focusing solely on death, this book broadens the idea of loss to include any significant change that creates emotional pain or confusion. Through warm storytelling and full-colour photos of beloved pets and comforting imagery, Lesley guides readers to explore their feelings, identify their emotional needs, and find hope. The "Help Me Cope Activities" at the end of the book provide practical, reflective exercises that help children and families talk about loss, remember what they’ve loved, and begin to rebuild. This book is ideal for families, classrooms, therapists, and anyone supporting children through times of grief or transition.
