Can anyone recommend any books to help an 8 and 10 year old with the sudden passing of their grandad? Thanks x

I am rather late to be commenting but this is in case anyone else is looking for inspiration. Badgers Parting Gifts if a wonderful book to help explain the passing of an older person. I loved it as an adult even though I got it for my kids (on recommendation) when my grandfather died and it came out again when my dad died too. It really helped me as well as them!

This came recommended to me by a youth bereavement counsellor.

I hope you find one that works for them
