Feeling All My Grief: A secular grief book for young children (about death, loss, and healing) (Feeling All My Feelings)

A gentle, rhyming children’s book to help kids understand loss and navigate grief.

When a child loses someone they love, adults often struggle to find the right words.
What do you say when nothing can make it better?

Feeling All My Grief was written to meet children exactly where they are after a loss: confused, sad, angry, scared, numb, or feeling many emotions at once.

This comforting, non-religious book helps children understand death in a clear, age-appropriate way—without euphemisms that can confuse or frighten young minds.

Instead of rushing children through grief or trying to “fix” their feelings, the story gently reassures them of an essential truth:

All feelings are allowed. And healing happens in its own time.

Written in soothing rhyme and paired with warm, inclusive illustrations, Feeling All My Grief gently supports children through loss. It reminds them that love, connection, and brighter moments can still exist alongside grief.

What this book helps children learn:
• Death is a part of life, and it’s okay to ask questions
• Grief can feel different from day to day, and all reactions are valid
• Sadness, anger, fear, confusion, and love can coexist
• Healing doesn’t mean forgetting
• With time, it’s possible to make space again for joy and gratitude
