Experiencing loss, whether sudden or expected, is extremely challenging at any age. Since children often do not have friends who have had a similar experience, they may find this to be a scary, overwhelming and lonely time. A little turtle loves doing fun things with Daddy, including playing golf together. Suddenly the turtle’s world is turned upside down when Dad falls ill and goes to the hospital. When the turtle’s mother says, “Daddy has gone to heaven to live with God”, the turtle must somehow learn to live without him. The turtle misses Daddy so much. While the little turtle wonders if Dad is living in a cloud, family members and friends help lead the turtle through many feelings during the first year following the dad’s death. Through this experience, the young turtle learns that it is okay to cry, laugh and be happy, as well as to forever love Daddy! In this beautifully illustrated and touching tale, a young turtle learns how to deal with loss and grief after the turtle’s father suddenly dies. The turtle is left believing Dad is watching and sending love from his heavenly cloud. This book provides numerous recommendations for adults supporting the grieving child. These include suggestions for honoring memories, creating tangible remembrances, and working through shared grief in a gentle and supportive way.

This book is to help those who have fled emotionally abusive relationships and now there is no contact between the father and child. Written based on my own personal experience of trying to find a way to explain why my son's dad suddenly wasn't there anymore, and why we left. I searched and searched for books that would help me but couldn't find anything that was relevant. So, after speaking to various mental health professionals I devised my own way of telling my son why he was no longer in contact with his father. I wanted to make sure he didn't blame himself and that no matter what, he is loved and safe now. I am now on a mission to help other women in my situation and give them the tools to help their own children. I have also included a bonus poem at the end.
