Abstract
In Unstacking Your Grief Tower, Lauren Wells notes that while mission field life can be a wonderful experience for TCKs, many experience loss and trauma during their developmental years. These losses and hardships stack up like blocks in a tower. If TCKs do not process the grief, trauma, or pain as it happens, these blocks continue to stack until they have a tower that can crash in early adulthood. This book offers practical activities that parents and TCKs can use to identify their “blocks” and then begin a healthy process of dismantling their tower.
