Preface

I am glad that you have chosen to read this book. It is designed to provide information about grief and the changes that many families encounter when going through family separation.

You yourself may be the parent or grandparent, another relative or a friend of a child who is experiencing family separation. You may be a professional who works with separating families, or perhaps you have recently separated from your partner and are looking for ways to help your family through the associated grief. This book will provide valuable information about how separation affects children and families and what you can do to nurture yourself, your family and the children involved.
