What happens when we die? This is one of those questions that parents know their children will ask eventually, yet still
find very hard to answer. In some cases, this is because the parents may have the same question themselves. Others may just
find it too hard to explain such a complicated and emotional topic in a way that a child can understand. Whatever the case
may be, Today
Someone I Love Passed Away is the perfect answer.
Today Someone I Love Passed Away follows Danny, a young boy who becomes enraged when he learns that he has to
give up his room when his Grandpa Vernon comes to live with the family. After the death of a playmate, Grandpa Vernon, with
gentle love and patience, teaches the children about death. He answers the children's questions honestly and with all the
knowledge he has as a devoted Catholic. He also tells the children about his own life, as well as the life and death of their
grandmother. As time goes by, Danny and his siblings develop a deep love for their grandfather.
