Description
Preteens and early teens (ages 11 – 13) are “Feeling It Deeply” – they understand the finality of death but may struggle to make sense of why it happened and what it means. Their feelings can shift quickly from sadness to anger, numbness, or guilt.
This Preteens + Early Teens Grief Pack offers practical, creative tools to help them process emotions, build emotional literacy, and find meaning in loss while keeping connection and hope alive.
What’s inside:
🎾 The Box + the Ball – visual metaphor for how grief’s intensity changes over time
🫙 My Jar of Grief + Growth – shows how new memories and joy can grow alongside grief
🕒 5-Minute Check-In – short, guided reflections for emotional regulation
🌱 Remembering + Growing – pages for exploring identity, memory, and change
💫 Gift of Gratitude – practice gratitude to balance sadness with warmth
How it helps:
- Builds insight and language for complex feelings
- Encourages independence and emotional awareness
- Supports identity development and meaning-making
- Promotes balance between grief, connection, and hope
Quick tip: Teens in this stage value privacy and autonomy — give them space to use the worksheets in their own way, and let them share only what they choose.
