Gentle ways to help a child after loss

When a child loses someone, they love, their grief can show up very differently.  Children may not express emotions the same way adults do, they may act out, withdraw, or ask the same questions over and over again.

At leolam we understand that young hearts need gentle, meaningful care.

• Be Honest & Reassuring
  Use age-appropriate language and let them know it’s okay to feel sad or angry.

• Keep Routines Steady
  Consistency helps create a sense of security during emotional upheaval.

• Encourage Creative Expression
  Drawing, journaling, or reading grief-friendly books can help them process feelings.

• Validate Their Emotions
  Let them know every feeling is valid—and they don’t have to grieve alone.

Often overlooked and misunderstood, we made sure those little hearts have a thoughtful gift option to help during a very confusing time with our "Whole Lotta Love" gift box.

Even the smallest gesture of kindness can help a child feel safe, loved, and supported.
