Child Grief Worksheets + Support

Grief can feel confusing and unpredictable for children of all ages, and supporting them while you are grieving yourself can make it even more challenging.

To help, we’ve created two PDF guides: one for parents and carers, and another for teachers, offering practical advice and strategies to support children through loss.

In addition, we’ve developed worksheet bundles tailored to different age groups to help children process their emotions in a guided and supportive way:

Our worksheets for early childhood…

• My Feelings House – Children draw different feelings in “rooms” (safe people, calm activities, ways to express).
• When I’m Feeling Sad – A simple, guided page where children draw or choose things and people that help when they feel sad – like a hug, a toy, or time with someone they trust.
• Things That Make Me Feel Safe – Identifies comforting people, routines, and spaces that help the child feel secure.
• Prompted drawing – Provides a space to express feelings, recall memories and process emotions.

Our worksheets for middle childhood…

• My Grief Jar – Teaches that grief doesn’t shrink – life grows around it.
• My Feelings Journal – Simple daily reflections to build emotional awareness.
