And What Comes After a Thousand? by Anette Bley

From chapters.ca:
This quiet, gentle, heart- warming book is meant to be shared. A book first about love and friendship, and then about loss. When Otto is buried, lots of people come. Lisa has never seen some of them before. Everyone talks in hushed voices, and they all look terribly serious. "Don't whisper like that!" Lisa shouts at them. "Otto doesn't like whispering!" But the strangers just look at her. "No one understands," Lisa says quietly. "Why did Otto leave me?"

Originally in German.
