not a Christian view
After the loss of my 7 year old son, I looked for something to help my 5 year old daughter. I found this book to be lacking when comparing the death of a loved one as a drop of water that falls into the ocean. This was not comforting. The hope of the Christian faith is in our loved one being in Heaven with Jesus our Savior. This book does not claim to be a Christian book and is not. My daughter hung on every word about Heaven in the book "Someday Heaven" by Larry Libby which I highly recommend for a child dealing with loss or Lisa Tawn Bergren's "God Gave Us Heaven" for an even younger child.
