Losing loved ones is a difficult process and everyone grieves differently. Below you can find helpful guides, resources and free e-stories appropriate to read with your kiddos that may help guide you through one of the most challenging human experiences.

The Kai's Journey series begins with The Golden Sweater, which focuses on the newness of loss and getting your bearings in a world without that significant person in your life. This story shows how Kai's mom also adapts to her new world.
The second book in the series, The Girl with the Locket, centers on a new experience for Kai at a bereavement camp. While he is somewhat anxious about the prospect of meeting new people, it doesn't take him long to make new friends. Elle is a young girl who struggles to talk about her own loss. Kai reaches out to her and finds that he has something to share with young people who are just like him.
In The Fishless Lake, Kai realizes that some of his memories of his father are slipping away. Kai's mother remembers one of their family traditions and re-introduces Kai to the annual fishing trip that Kai and his dad took every September. Although they don't catch any fish, they do capture countless warm memories, shared stories and a way to keep those family traditions alive and evolving as the family grows.
The Kai's Journey digital discussion guide offers tangible insights and tools to help promote productive conversations about grief through the challenging and important themes in the series.
