The Memory Book: A Grief Journal for Children and Families (Memory Box)

A Memory Book: A Book About Grief is both happy and sad. The story is about a little girl who is sad because someone she knows has died. When someone dies, we don’t get them back, but we can remember them and the fun we had with them.

Making a memory box can help us to remember the person who has died. Putting things that remind us of that person or things that you did together into the box is a good idea. In the story, the memory box helps the girl to feel better most days, but she doesn’t feel good every day. Having people tell us funny stories about the person who died is another way of remembering them, too. When you do things to remember the person who has died, then you can keep them with you wherever you go.

I haven’t had anyone really special to me die yet, but if I do, then I know this book will help me to think of ways of remembering them. Making a memory box doesn’t look hard, especially if you like to decorate things or make things colorful. I like looking at the pictures in this book because they are calm and make me feel good.
