Do you want to help your child heal after losing their grandmother? Do you want them to feel understood and supported through every stage of grief - knowing that missing her, talking to her and loving her never has to stop?
You've answered the impossible questions. You've held them when the grief arrived without warning - at breakfast, at school, in the middle of something ordinary. You've watched them look for her in small everyday moments and find only the space she left behind.
Because here's what every parent of a grieving child knows: you cannot take this pain away. You can only sit beside them inside it - and show them that love doesn't end when someone we adore is no longer there to hear it.
This children's book about losing a grandmother shows them exactly how to carry her forward.
Still Telling You Things: A Story to Help Kids Heal After Losing a Grandmother is the grandmother loss picture book for kids that finally gets it right - not by rushing to comfort, not by pretending the grief isn't enormous, but by following the full honest journey from the very first shock to the very first moment of healing. This children's book about losing a grandparent burns one truth into every child who reads it: she is still listening. She always will be.
Meet Elias. Six years old. His grandmother was his best friend. She saved the last cookie for him. She listened to every single thing he said as if it was the most important thing she had ever heard. Now the kitchen is quiet. The chair is empty. And everywhere Elias goes he finds things he wants to tell her - and then remembers all over again.
So this grandmother loss story for kids sits with him. Through every stage in its own time.
The shock. The sadness. The anger. The guilt - the specific crushing guilt of a whole afternoon spent laughing and then feeling terrible about it. The remembering - finding her old recipe book, laughing and crying at the same time. And finally - the healing. Not forgetting. Never forgetting. Just understanding that everything she taught him, every story she told him, every cookie she saved for him lives inside him now.
On the last page Elias looks gently at your child:
"It's okay to still talk to them. They're still listening. I really believe that."
