How it feels when a parent dies by Jill Krementz. Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1983.
This book is made up of first person interviews and narratives of children who have had a parent die. The ages of the children range from 7 to 16, with parents who had died two months to seven years ago. Each child has their own story to tell about how they coped and their emotions. Some parents died after a long illness, one committed suicide and others died in accidents. The best thing about the book is that it reassures children that they are not alone, that there are others who have been through it and survived.
