Death, Grief, and Loss: A Guide for Parents, Caregivers, Educators, Counsellors, and Other Helpers to Talk about Difficult

Woodland Wisdom Books - Vol. 1 - Death, Grief, and Loss starts off with a guide for adults to help navigate difficult subjects with children.

Then the story for the children begins. We follow Ann the Arctic Fox, who is a Social Worker in Woodland Woods, as she helps the community find healthy ways to deal with the death of the Great Elk. Ann starts a Grief Group and many animals from Woodland Woods come to share their experiences with having someone they love die. Ann shares some information about grief and encourages the group to find healthy ways to express their feelings.

After the story is done, there are a few activities that some might find helpful to express thoughts and feelings they are having about grief. One of the activities is making a Remembering Quilt which was inspired by a gift my grandmother gave to me and I am so happy to get to share it with you.
