    About this ebook

    How do you help a child through the loss of a sibling or a friend at a young age? Its almost an unfathomable thought when youre dealing with your own loss as a parent. But helping them to remember is something you can do. Children who lose a sibling or a friend have cherished memories about the other child that may fade if not captured on paper. This books intent is to encourage a child to write and draw about their feelings while dealing with the death of a sibling or a friend. The book provides the surviving child the opportunity to document their memories and impressions of their lost loved one. It serves as a tool to process the loss and becomes a keepsake of memories for the future.
    A special thank you to Debbie for helping me move forward.

    Olivia Wade

    Rebecca Wade was an ordinary working mom enjoying life with her loving husband, two amazing daughters, and the family dog. She loved the simple things of life—waiting at the bus stop, preparing dinners, packing lunches, watching her oldest at soccer practice and playing with her youngest. Observing the developing relationship between her dear daughters, who were seven-years-apart in age, was prized time. Rebecca always imagined how these two sisters would grow up together and become close friends. Life was pretty much perfect. But in late March of 2012, Rebecca and her firstborn, Olivia, joined extended family on a weekend vacation in Florida. During the trip, Olivia died in a boating accident. Rebecca’s world crumbled. Coping with profound devastation and overwhelming loss, Rebecca also had two-year-old, Ainsley, to tend to plus a grieving husband and extended family. As they began the painful process of adjusting to life without Olivia, Rebecca became determined that no one forget her sweet Olivia and vowed that Ainsley, who called her sister “La La,” would remember the all-to-short time spent together as adoring sisters.
