GOOD QUALITY TISSUES
GRIEF BOOK
Books can be an incredible way for bereaved parents to connect with others and know that they’re not alone in their feelings of grief.
“Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form,” says Megan Devine. “It is a natural and sane response to loss.”
GRIEF JOURNAL
An illustrated journal for meeting grief with honesty and kindness―honoring loss, rather than packing it away
“Being allowed to tell the truth about your grief is an incredibly powerful act,” she says. “This journal enables you to tell your whole story, without the need to tack on a happy ending where there isn’t one.”
PENS FOR JOURNALING
We love the added “flair” of these pens.
SNACK BASKET
“Eating full meals was not attainable for me as I didn't have an appetite or the energy to cook or even heat something up - snacks were the only thing I was able to keep down.”
Consider grabbing their favorite snacks at the store or buying a pre-made basket like this one.
