Memory-making and personal reflection are at the heart of this children’s grief therapy workbook. It gives children and teenagers a gentle way to describe themselves, remember someone they care about, and put feelings into words through open-ended, creative writing prompts.
When a child is finding it difficult to talk about a death, loss, or someone they miss, these printable grief worksheets offer a structured place to begin. The workbook combines an “All About Me” page with remembrance activities focused on a loved one, making space for both the young person’s identity and their relationship with the person they are grieving.
The first activity asks children or teens to record their name, age, where they are from, favourite colours and foods, hobbies, and words that describe them. A prompt about what they would do if they won a million dollars can help a child share hopes, priorities, and personality in a lower-pressure way.
Later pages support bereavement counselling and grief therapy through prompts such as a cherished memory, things that bring the loved one to mind, what they enjoyed, what they excelled in, and a phrase they often used. These questions can be completed through writing, drawing, dictation, or conversation, depending on the child’s age and communication style.
A final reflection page invites the child or teenager to consider what they would say if they could see their loved one now, and what that person might say to them. School counsellors, child bereavement practitioners, play therapists, and parents supporting a grieving child may use the pages during one-to-one sessions, at home, or as part of a memory book.
