OUR DAD DIED: THE TRUE STORY OF THREE KIDS WHOSE LIVES
CHANGED
Amy Allie and David Dennison
“This is a journal about what happened to us. . . . One night, Dad just died
and that was that.” Twins Allie and Amy were eight years old and their brother David
was four when their beloved father died in his sleep. Encouraged and guided by their
mother, the three children kept a journal for almost two years. They wrote about the night
he died, the funeral, the first week, the first year, the cemetery, their thoughts and
feelings, their sadness and grief—and the future. Later, they looked back on what
they had written and added new reflections. They also wrote suggestions for other kids who
have experienced a similar loss.
An honest, insightful, and deeply moving perspective on death, its aftermath, and the
journey through grief and growth, OUR DAD DIED is recommended for anyone who has lost a
loved one or knows someone who has.
