Grief Resources for Kids

Older children may need more than storybooks to understand grief and death. The resources I've created are intended to gently teach children some ways to grieve and what the Bible says about grief.

These Grief Journal pages include a reminder about grief, a Bible quote about grief and two open-ended writing prompts to help them think about a new reality without their loved one with a hopeful tone.

There are 12 journal pages, one for each month. Print them off and use them as a discussion tool with your grieving child.
