Gentle and reassuring, What Does Grief Feel Like? shares the many ways people can grieve when a loved one dies and validates children's unique grief experiences. Open-ended questions throughout the book invite children to share what they are thinking, feeling, and going through:
  • What did you feel after your special person died?
  • What happens when your grief gets too big?
  • What do you do in your family and community to help your grief?
