Gailia (With Cd)

Gailia is a book about healing from the painful emotions that children and adults experience when facing the death of someone they love. Skillfully written and beautifully illustrated, it is designed for children age 7 through adult, and has been used and recommended by facilitators of bereavement groups as a valuable tool in helping those who are grieving. It has been recognized as being a useful intervention for groups and individuals alike, which offers hope, peace, inspiration and a new perception of loss in a very difficult time.

Gailia is a little fairy child who is loved and cared for by all of her friends at the pond where she lives. Her life is happy and secure until one day when she can not find her beloved friend, Croakie. Gailia is afraid she will lose all of her friends where she can not see or be with them. With the help and guidance of a wise old tree she is able to walk through her fear of losing everyone that she loves, as she comes to a better understanding of the continuous nature of spirit and a never-ending love. As her awareness of spirit grows, she once again becomes a very sparkly fairy child, still surrounded by all those who love her.

The story of Gailia has been artfully narrated on to a CD. Complete with beautiful music and an inspiring song called "Remember Me," this CD masterfully captures the overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, and the fear of losing all that you love. It transforms those feelings of hopelessness into hope, and sorrow to peace, as it helps to create a new understanding of letting go and freeing the spirit.
