Our Journals
Support a child through some of life’s hardest moments with a journal created just for them.
Our Kids’ Helpful Guides are structured, child-centred journal interventions designed to help children and young people make sense of grief, loss, change and uncertainty. Written in clear, age-appropriate language and filled with thoughtful activities and prompts, each journal provides a safe space to explore feelings, reflect on experiences, preserve memories and discover practical ways to cope.
The collection supports a wide range of experiences, including the death of a parent, grandparent or sibling, serious or terminal illness, suicide bereavement, family separation, imprisonment and pet loss. Designed for use by schools, professionals and families, the journals provide compassionate, practical support that helps children feel seen, heard and understood — one page at a time.

Our Adult Support Guides
When a child is grieving or facing a difficult life change, adults often want to help but aren’t sure where to begin. The Adult Support Guides from Lessons in Loss give teachers, therapists, pastoral staff, and caregivers clear, compassionate direction — practical advice, age‑specific insights, and confident language for supporting children through loss.
Each guide is directly linked to its matching Kids’ Helpful Guide journal, creating a complete two‑part support system:
The journal helps the child express feelings, understand what’s happening, and build resilience. The adult guide helps you understand the child’s experience and respond in ways that genuinely support their emotional needs.
Covering bereavement, serious illness, suicide loss, pet loss, parental separation, and more, these guides break down what children typically feel, how grief shows up at different ages, and what actions make the biggest difference.
Thoughtful, practical, and easy to use, the Adult Support Guides give professionals and families the confidence to support children with care, clarity, and consistency — while the paired journals give young people a safe space to heal.
