Linda Goldman
"Goldman is an artisan in her writing, bringing together the gifts
of author and therapist with the work of the listener to the story
in ways that help us address issues and touch the hearts of
children she writes about. Her book is a warehouse of resources on
complicated grief as it is woven through life and through the lives
of children. The insights are on target, and the help will enable
us, as adults (parents and professionals), be more present in the
story and feelings of children...This book is a must for your
professional library and should be made available to parents and
families." -- Resources Hotline, 2002 (The World Pastoral Care
Center)
"Breaking the Silence is a book that needs to be read by everyone
concerned about helping children heal from one of life's most
tragic events. Goldman's experience and understanding of the issues
and needs of children provides a solid foundation for parents,
educators, and counselors seeking assistance." -- Donna L.
Schuurman, Ed.D., Executive Director, The Dougy Center for Grieving
Children

"If you need information on the toughest issues relating to kids:
Suicide, Complicated Grief, AIDS, Bullying, Abuse, Homicide and
others the Breaking the Silence is the book for you. This is a
great resource. This book creates a dialogue around the most
difficult topics and breaks the seal of silence in a practical and
useful manner. It includes many very helpful techniques that aid
you in both understanding the issues and, most importantly, helping
you to help the children who need your stewardship. It also offers
plenty of recommendations for further study both print and
Internet. I can't recommend it enough." -- Tom Golden, LCSW, Golden

"This is an informative book that truly is a testament to the
author's knowledge and experience and her desire to provide others
with the tools needed to help our most important population --
children. I recommend this book without reservation and commend the
author for this exceptional work." -- Doody Publishing
"The best materials I found for helping children experiencing death
due to suicide or violence, wre from a medical agency which
supports families in crisis and in Linda Goldman's book, Breaking
the Silence. Breaking theSilence boldly identifies most of the
'sensitive' issues regarding harm to human life, suggests that
children be told in simple but factual terms exactly what has
happened, and then provides useful steps for helping children in
each situation. I have made use of Linda's advice both in training
volunteers to be facilitators of grief support groups for children,
and also when providing in-service to school professionals
regarding children and grief." -- Paula R. Elliott, Bereavement
Specialist, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh
