A Creative Grief Workbook for Children & Teens

A gentle workbook designed to help children and teens express grief, honor memories, and navigate life's difficult changes through coloring, reflection, and creative activities.

Recommended for ages 6–16, with activities that can be adapted for younger children or older teens with the support of a trusted adult.

Whether a child is grieving the loss of a loved one, serious illness, divorce, separation, trauma, or another life-changing event, The Colors of Grief provides a safe place to explore emotions that are often difficult to put into words.

Inside you'll find:

• Coloring pages for emotional expression
• Reflection and journaling prompts
• Memory activities
• Feelings exploration
• Conversation starters
• Space for personal creativity and healing

Created with compassion and emotional honesty, this workbook encourages children to express themselves at their own pace. Some may want to color quietly on their own, while others may enjoy sharing the activities with a parent, grandparent, counselor, teacher, or trusted adult. Both are okay.

Thank you for choosing the printable PDF edition.

One of the benefits of this digital workbook is the flexibility it gives your family. You don't have to complete every page in order. Simply choose the activities that best fit your child's age, personality, and current needs.

Print only the pages you want to use today, and come back to others whenever you're ready.

If your child has a favorite coloring page, memory activity, or reflection exercise, you're welcome to print additional copies for your personal use. Grief changes over time, and revisiting a favorite activity can provide comfort at different stages of the healing journey.

Some children enjoy working independently, while others prefer to complete activities with a parent, grandparent, counselor, teacher, or another trusted adult. Follow your child's lead. There is no right or wrong way to use this workbook.

Most importantly, remember that this isn't about finishing every page. It's about creating opportunities to talk, remember, express emotions, and heal—one page at a time.

Thank you for allowing The Colors of Grief to be part of your family's journey.
