My Grief and Memories Pack

This pack is designed to help children cope with and understand grief when it happens. The packs contains 3 cards with explanations of the feelings surrounding a loss and activities to help them along the way. It also includes an advice card for parents & carers to get started.

Sometimes someone we love dies, and we miss them very much. We might feel sad, angry, confused or even happy when we remember something lovely about them.

All these feelings are okay. There is no right or wrong way to feel, and everyone needs time to grieve.

Inside this pack are two beautiful crystals to keep as special reminders of love, happy memories and the people who will always be part of our story.

1. Rose Quartz. A little reminder of love

Rose Quartz is a soft pink crystal often associated with love, kindness and caring.

When you miss someone special, you can hold your Rose Quartz and think about a happy memory you shared. Perhaps you remember their smile, a favourite game you played together, a special hug or something funny they used to say.

Your crystal can be a little reminder of the love you shared.

My little reminder:
“I can miss someone and still carry my happy memories of them in my heart.”

A little activity:
Draw a picture of a happy memory with someone you love. You could also write their name or ask a grown-up to help you.

2. Amethyst. A little moment of calm

Amethyst is a beautiful purple crystal traditionally associated with calmness and peace.

Sometimes, when we miss someone, our feelings can seem very big. You might feel like crying, feel cross or find it hard to explain what is wrong.

When this happens, you could hold your Amethyst, take a few slow breaths and talk to someone you trust.

You don't have to hide your feelings or pretend to be happy.

My little reminder:
“It's okay to feel sad. I can take my time, and I can ask for a cuddle or a little help.”

A little activity:
Think of a place where you feel safe and cared for. Draw it, or tell someone you trust about it.

My Special Memories. A little place to remember

Someone we love can leave us with many special memories. We might remember their laugh, the things they taught us, places we went together or the little things that made them special.

You can use this card to keep a memory close to your heart.

• The person I am remembering:

• Something lovely I remember about them:

• Something they did that made me smile:

• If I could tell them something, I would say:

You can write, draw or ask a grown-up to help you. You don't have to fill in every part, and it's okay if you don't feel ready yet.

Your memories are yours to keep, in your own time and in your own way.

Remember: You are loved, your feelings matter, and you don't have to go through difficult days alone.

The box is made of 100% recycled material and ready to gift wrap.
