Dear Cheyenne
Now in it's 5th printing!
This book is one of those rare books on grief that is totally absorbed
into your understanding. "Dear Cheyenne" is written from a bereaved
parent's perspective. Cheyenne is Joanne Cacciatore's infant daughter
and, as she eloquently puts it, "too beautiful for this world." Joanne
journaled her thoughts, feelings and revelations in this book. Some
of the insights and discoveries she obtained are truly enlightening.
As promised in the title, there are some uncanny happenings in Joanne's
life as she struggles to understand why her daughter was taken from
her too soon. These happenings can only be explained as miracles.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has experienced the tragedy
of losing a child as well as those who want to relate more to a loved
who has. The book offers insight into a mother's perspective for those
of us who can identify with the pain as well as for those who cannot
comprehend the enormous grief that others are going through.

What Color Is Death, Daddy?
A combination coloring book and grief journal for children, this book
is a helpful tool for both children and parents in working through the
difficult process of grief. Written by Joanne Cacciatore and illustrated
by Ashlee Simpson, age 9, this book walks through a child's grief after
the loss of his brother and his mother.
If a child is old enough to love, then they are old enough to grieve.
Children are often the forgotten grievers. Yet, the death of a core
family member can significantly affect a child's life. If not properly
supported, the death can disrupt the child's self-esteem, their sense
of security, their sense of family. This book is a valuable tool for
children to help express their feelings of grief, embrace the process,
and help them acquire skills necessary to face the sadness and many
emotions they have after their loved one dies.
Also available translated in spanish. (indicate language choice
