Passed Away: Helping Young Children with Expressions of Family Loss

Passed Away was designed for young children that have experienced loss of a family member. Sometimes life’s challenges require some special adjustments in our families when we experience the loss of someone very close to us. Although our family member is no longer with us, their memory can last forever. The inspiration for this book is provide a resource for young children, parents and guardians who have experienced the loss a significant love one and what they may experience immediately afterwards including their emotions, support from family, community resources, attending a funeral and encouragement to write or draw to express their feelings. Most children and teens receive very little information about the loss of a significant love one and many adults have confided that they just do not know what to say to them. Passed Away was inspired to provide this service to young children to ensure they are allowed to express themselves and have their questions answered too!
