I Am Standing Upon the Seashore: End of Life Education, A Coloring Booklet
This end of life coloring booklet is used as art therapy for both adults and children. I Am Standing Upon the Seashore provides a concept of death using the metaphor of the poem, Gone From My Sight.
Poems and art often take us to places the rational mind can’t go. Poems about death and the grieving process can help grieving adults and children begin to neutralize some of the fear and cultural misconceptions most of us have concerning dying and death.
Engaging with a person through this coloring activity, we can simply and compassionately begin our conversation about the final good-bye. The child in all of us can relate to these images as we are looking for meaning and comfort in the stages of grief.
This booklet serves as a beautiful tool for individuals of all ages, offering understanding and reassurance when facing death or supporting a loved one.
Explore the healing power of art therapy and open up conversations about death and grieving. Order your copy of 'I Am Standing Upon the Seashore' today and experience the profound and comforting journey through coloring.

It helps to understand
My family and I found these books at the hospice center where my dad was passing away and they really helped all of us through those difficult times so we could understand what was happening and what was going to happen. So later I had met a girl that her mom was passing away and so I bought some of these books and gave them to her and told them how they helped me and my family and I had hoped and prayed that they would help her with her’s and later she came and told me that they did and so it has become something that I give to people when they are in the same situation with one of their family members passing away and it does seem to help them as well. What’s so wonderful about these books is when you’re faced with the situation like this with someone you care about you don’t know what to give them or what to say and they don’t know either and that is what makes this book so wonderful because they can say the right things and make people understand. So I think you from the bottom of my heart that you created these books for everyone to understand.

Cheryl, most of us don't know what dying is like or what to do while it is happening. Having a bit of knowledge ahead of time gives us a better opportunity to create a meaningful expereiece. Good for you for sharing a guide that supports your friends. Blessings! Barbara
A helpful way to say goodbye
I've given these away as a hospice nurse. When little kids are losing someone close, this helps them feel included, and offers an opportunity for them to ask questions about what is happening. Patients often ask for a copy to give to a kiddo, giving the opening for a conversation about the impending death. It isn't easy to figure out how to open this conversation with kids. Using this book, I have had an easy time facilitating the start of that conversation. Kids usually DO have questions, and given this opportunity, will benefit from the opportunity to ask away.

A beautiful booklet
I have this on my shelf for when my father dies to use to help comfort me, my children and my grandchildren. The poetry of the story is soothing and so helpful, even as I just anticipate his death.
Helping great grandkids understand the cycle and end of life
Good basis. I included my faith in God as He is the author of life. I wish the graphics were more conducive to coloring.

Hi Kati, am sorry the timing was off with the arrival of this booklet but it is never too late to learn about end of life (adults and/or children). I recommend you read it together now and then talk about it. You might find that your son has questions and feelings about your mother in law’s dying and death that he did not feel comfortable sharing. Blessings to you and your family. Barbara
