Personalised books to help child deal with the death of a loved one

The death of a loved one is never easy. It can take a lifetime to process the unending grief. But as adults we understand the emotions we feel and can deal with them as best as we can. This is more difficult for children however, especially if they are unfortunate enough to witness tragedy at 8 years or younger. These emotions are feelings they are unable to grasp, and as adults it is our responsibility to help them deal with grief as it comes.

As grim as the topic may be, at superpersonalisedbooks, we believe it is vital to approach it the right way. That is why we’ve created “you are not alone”, a super personalised book series for children. These books concentrate on the child as the main character but include effective and healthy ways to deal with grief, as consulted through a child educator. The book introduces tools that the child can use to process grief, both alone and together with the family.

Deal with grief: Effective and healthy tools for kids to understand death

We understand that difficult emotions are best explained through a parent, and our story is narrated in such a way. We have books that can help the mourning of a parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle, with a parent telling the story to the child each time. Each book helps to deal with grief by tackling emotions such as anger, worry, guilt, emptiness, and sadness.

Some of the effective tools we use include mourning together as a family. This could be letting the anger out in some way, or quietly sitting it out. It could be crying out loud or comforting others to help them get through the ordeal. It could be talking about shared moments, writing letters, or going through photos, to remember and heal.

As tragic and unexpected as these situations come, it is important to overcome the barrage of emotions by oneself. Our books will not only help children, but they can also be a source of comfort to the parent. You can read them together as needed, and they will help reduce the pain over time. We invite you to look at our books here, as they are available in a range of languages, with customizable avatars to help connect with kids.

Gone but not forgotten,

But now for those who remain,

To remember how to live–

In earnest blue skies.
