The following is a synthesis of the literature focused on ways of supporting healthy grieving in children and a related children’s book based on the findings. I have produced a book on grieving that is intended to be used by caregivers and educators to support bereaved children. The support strategies that are discussed here and reflected in the book Dragonfly Dance include ideas from traditional therapeutic approaches, expressive arts, pet therapy, grief camps, adventure therapy, and group therapy. The tasks of grieving are also described through selected literature. Dragonfly Dance incorporates many of the known activities that support transition through grief.
