Grief & Loss Resources
Grief & Loss Resources
Below is a link to a book by "Art with Heart" that I frequently use with students (3rd - 5th Grade) experiencing grief. It comes with a picture frame that kids can use to place a picture of their lost loved one. It also comes with a parent handbook that guides parents on how to talk to their child about grief.
Another tool I use with students is a "memory journal". This idea is based on the book "The Memory Box" by Joanna Rowland.
