Bedtime stories about loss, grief and illness

A child who has lost a pet or a grandparent may not have the words for it yet. The themes are built around a child who is sad, who remembers, and who is not alone with it.

The themes range from saying goodbye to a pet for ages 3 to 4 to losing someone close for ages 9 to 12, plus two about a family member who is very sick. You can read the full text before your child hears it; you know best what your child is ready to hear.
