Comfort when navigating sadness and saying goodbye

Everything suddenly seems different for a while when somebody is about to die. During a time like this, it can help if you have someone you can lean on and hold on to. In this book, a turtle is the one to offer, “Come, let me carry you for a while.” The turtle cannot take away the pain or change what is final, but it stays at your side, reminding you to eat and sleep, and giving enough space for every thought.

A touching and comforting story for children and teenagers as well as for adults.
