Author and Educator Laurie Trachta, Provides Parents with a Framework to Help Them Explain Loss to Children

Two things are certain in this world—taxes and death. Fortunately, children don’t need to worry about taxes. However, adults can’t spare them from losing someone so dear to them leaving adults with the task of explaining why such things happen. Situations like this are such a daunting task. Laurie Trachta, an author and retired teacher with a BA in Education and MA in school counseling, delves into her experience and education to help alleviate the stress. She presents the book, “Can the Sad Come Out,” a book that provides parents and guardians with the framework they need to discuss difficult but important questions with children including conversations on why living things have to die.

Death and dying is a difficult subject to explain especially to children. But with a sweet gentle explanation coupled with compelling illustrations, Laurie brings a sense of relief to parents and adults who are faced with such a task.

The book has received a 5-stars review on Amazon and has received positive feedback with one commenter saying:

“Very insightful - written in a way to help young children deal with the loss of a loved one with excellent illustrations to help enforce the concepts. A helpful guide to bring about discussion and to take away the fear of loss. Crosses many age groups from the very young to whom it will be read to the older who can read alone…but would be most helpful as a tool for a relational discussion.”
