Angel Catcher for Kids: A Journal to Help You Remember the Person You Love Who Died (Grief Books for Kids, Children's Grief Book, Coping Books for Kids)

I wish we didn’t have the need for this book but unfortunately we do and I’m glad this is available.My 2 young children and I got in horrific car accident in Aug 2018. My precious 9 yr old son didn’t make it and my 7 year old daughter was severely injured. We’ve had an agonizing last 2 years, I don’t even know how I have survived but here we are.A week before the 2 year anniversary she was finally given the all clear medically. I wanted to give her something to help her safeguard thoughts, feelings and most importantly memories. I’m barely functioning and don’t have the ability to help myself much less help her process all this trauma. That’s where this lovely book comes in.I let my princess know there’s NO rules for this. She can go at her own pace in any order she feels like, alone or together with me or anyone she chooses. Change a word, change a phrase, change a sentence, change a whole page to make it her own.I think it’s going to be a wonderful tool for her.I hope you never have the need to get this for your children but if you ever do, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Unfortunate and sad event of life that I needed to purchase this book for a 8yrs old girl. But I am very thankful this book existed as she needed this so much. I dropped this off yesterday and I scanned through the pages with her and now I got an update that she is almost finished with this book and yes what she wrote is heart wrenching 💔😢😔 but finally she is able to express her feelings and be heard and comforted as she so much needed. I wish there's another book so she can continue with the process grief of self expression

This is a great journal, perfect for children who have experienced loss of a loved one. For many of us, we're not sure exactly how to help the little grievers in our lives, other than to let them talk about their loss, ask questions, and affirm their grieving process. This journal, however, gives us something tangible to do with our grieving kids.My son (8 years old) read through this in one sitting and then picked one of the activities to do. He's not completing the book in order, but that's more than OK. Sometimes he'll go through a few months without picking it up, and then he'll do a few pages at once.Bottom line: this is a wonderful resource for children who have encountered unimaginable loss.

My daughters father recently passed. It has been a very rough time and at first she was really going on like all was okay. I purchased this for her in hopes that she would use it. I told her no pressure that I got this for her because it may give her the opportunity to write down some great memories and to use when struggling with the hand we have been dealt. She instantly filled out a large portion of the book and when she got to the sad pages she said she would save them for a day when she feels like she really needs it.

I bought this book for my 6 year old daughter after the passing of her aunt, my sister-in-law. It has definitely helped her process her feeling. When she is feeling sad or missing her she gets her journal and writes and draws in it. It has pages to color pictures, write how they feel, and pages to paste pictures of their loved one. I would say that this journal is probably for younger children. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a child who is suffering from a passing of a loved one.

Its a nice journal. I gave it to my niece because her mom just passed away. I teared up when i read the book.

We bought this to help my son grieve the loss of his grandmother, who lived with us. They were very close, and processing the death was tricky for me to help him with. He is 10, I feel some of the book is aimed at a younger age, but he has still enjoyed filling out the pages and working through his emotions. Our youth counselor from the hospice was also very impressed by the book, and plans on suggesting it to other families.

I am a mental health counselor. This is a great book for children who have lost a loved one. I have used it with my child client's who have lost a parent or close relative. It has been well received by all. The young children fill it out with the help of a parent. They come back for a session all excited about what they have written and want me to read it. It is a great help for them to cope with the loss of a parent, grandparent, etc.

I gave this to a student age 9 who's mom died a year ago. He sat down and talked with his dad about the questions and his dad said the two of them sat and hugged and cried.
