My Grief Comfort Book

This creative activity book helps kids explore their emotions of grief through 25 play and art therapy projects with stickers, coloring sheets, and comfort cards for completing the activities.

Description

Whether a child has lost a grandparent, a pet, or an important person in their life, My Grief Comfort Book offers them space to process their emotions through hands-on art, play, and storytelling. From writing a Goodbye Letter on the stationery in the book to creating a Memory Box to hold and share memories, the projects help kids heal after a death.

Kids are encouraged to sketch Before and After Drawings, put together a Comfort Kit to cope when they're sad, or make an Activity Jar of things a loved one enjoyed before they died. The 25 prompts, games, exercises, and keepsake crafts were designed by author Brie Overton, the clinical director at the Experience Camps for grieving children.

My Grief Comfort Book invites kids to take a creative break from the heaviness of their loss. As they draw, paint, share a story, or play a game, they build coping skills, manage their emotions, develop resilience, and make peace with their grief.
