All the Stars Above - virus outbreak cards
Due to Covid-19 and all causes of death during the Covid-19 pandemic, we expanded All the Stars Above with 39 extra cards (on top of the 700 cards in the tray).
We found questions that are important to ask with respect to the painful situations in which next-of-kin had to say goodbye from their loved ones (during the dying-process and during the funeral services). So these questions are now added to the tool.
As a therapist you can add these cards to the decks 'dying' or 'funeral' when this situation is applicable. The cards are recognizable with dots at the bottom. So afterwards you can remove the cards again.

Recommendations
Two recomendations for All the Stars Above from the USA!
Recommendation by J. William Worden
"Bereaved children often have difficulty sharing their thoughts and feelings about death with family and others. All the Stars Above is a very creative way to help these children identify and discuss their confusions and worries. It is especially effective for use with families and bereavement groups, but I have also found it useful when working with bereaved children one on one.
Daisy Luiten is to be commended for designing this creative approach that will appeal to children of all ages. Those working with bereaved children and families will want to add this to their inventory of intervention materials."

Recommendation by Robert A. Neimeyer
"All the Stars Above is an inspired intervention, a practical procedure to facilitate precisely the sort of mutual storytelling that helps a family make sense of loss, and make sense of each other in its wake. I recommend it to all creative clinicians who want to reach into the silence of wordless suffering, and help families find a way forward in the aftermath of unwelcome change."
