Port Lincoln mother widowed by murder-suicide pens book to help children with grief

A widowed mother is turning personal tragedy into an opportunity to help others after writing a book to help children deal with grief.

In January this year, the South Australian town of Port Lincoln was rocked by unimaginable tragedy.

Police found the bodies of Damien Little and his two sons Koda, four, and Hunter, nine months, inside a family car that had been intentionally driven off a wharf at high speed.

The murder-suicide left wife and mother Melissa Little alone and grief-stricken as she tried to come to terms with an event that resulted in "three lives taken too soon". http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-18/murder-suicide-wharf-tragedy-turned-to-help-children-with-grief/8037166
