Practical Tools to Support Your Child Through Grief

Helping a child navigate the loss of a parent is not easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. We provide free, research-based tools designed to support you in raising a resilient child during this difficult time.

Each Practical Tool takes just 15–20 minutes and is designed to help you with a specific, meaningful goal:

  • Be Kind to Yourself – Learn how self-kindness can strengthen your ability to support your child.
