My Good Grief Journal for Kids

MY GOOD GRIEF JOURNAL FOR KIDS is created for children who have had a precious loved one or dear friend die. It is also a tool for parents and other adults responsible for the care of children who grieve.

The purpose of MY GOOD GRIEF JOURNAL FOR KIDS is to help adults spark warm conversations with their grieving children about a loved one who has died. The app will also help create a permanent treasure chest of the child’s memories, thoughts and feelings about their deceased loved one.
