The core messages here are about acceptance of death as a natural process that comes to us all and finding peace in that. This story also introduces the concept of heaven so will be appropriate for all families with a religious tradition of any denomination or any kind of spiritual conviction. It's compassionate and accessible and gentle and encouraging.
I think ''The Dragonfly Story'' is a wonderful resource and I wish Kelly Owen well in her quest to bring it to as many bereaved families who need it. Abi would be proud.
