Grief Workbook for Kids 3-6 - Sibling Grief Activities for Loss & Bereavement. Toddler and Preschool Feelings Worksheets. Parent Guide

Little Hearts

Helping young siblings grieve.

A gentle guide for parents of little ones ages 3–6, with pages to do together.

You are grieving your child and caring for your little one at the same time. That is one of the hardest things a parent can do. You don't have to have the right words. Little ones don't need perfect answers. They need you, honesty, and lots of love. This guide helps with both.

A gentle introduction for you before every activity page, explaining why it matters for your little one and how to share it with them, grounded in respected child-grief research.

A NOTE FROM ME

Hi, I'm Niki. I made these pages after losing my daughter, Harper. I'm a mom who has walked this road, read everything I could find, and leads The Ugly Cry Club, a group for grief and loss. I'm also a grief educator. Every page is written the way I wish someone had spoken to me: gently, honestly, and without a timeline.

Real tears. Real love.
