When you're grieving, everything can feel upside down. Sometimes it can help to talk, write, draw, or act out your feelings. Get some pencils, markers, or crayons and find a spot you feel comfortable. If you need help, want a hug/high-five, have questions, or just want to talk about it with someone, be sure to ask one of your adults.

The Dougy Center offers kids 0-5 and 6-12 age appropriate toolkits on poems, activities, videos, articles, podcasts and tipsheets related to death, dying and grief. Topics are sorted by type of death and the person who died. Spanish toolkits are also available. 

About The Dougy Center: At Dougy Center, our mission is to provide grief support in a safe place where children, teens, young adults, and their families can share their experiences before and after a death. We provide support and training locally, nationally, and internationally to individuals and organizations seeking to assist children who are grieving.
