Dealing With Childhood Depression

By Ginny Hermann

Pages: 1 2 3 4

Moore is very proud of the way her children have come through the crisis of losing a sibling. "By allowing my children to grieve, by allowing them to cry and feel angry and by showing them our support no matter how crappy they felt or acted, we have shown them that it is OK to have bad days, and that, over time, bad days can turn into good days."
