About

The booklet helps parents and other adults support children through grief. It describes ways to talk about death, handle emotions, and remember the loved one. The guide offers practical advice for dealing with different reactions kids might have and suggests activities to help them cope. It also provides resources for additional support if needed. The goal is to help families navigate the difficult time after losing someone they love by offering understanding and guidance tailored for children’s needs during such challenging moments. The booklet is available in ten languages, including Spanish, simplified Chinese and Tagalog.
