Each month we will highlight a new activity that you can do alone or with your family to remember a person or pet that has died.
This month’s activity:
How Grief has Changed Me
Supplies Needed
Paper
Markers
Different colors of paint
Directions:
For this month’s activity, we are making butterflies! A butterfly starts out as a caterpillar and has a transformation to become a butterfly. Grief can change us too, it may make us identify people that are supports, find strengthens we did not know we had, or create new coping strategies. Let’s make a butterfly to identify the ways grief has made us stronger. Start by choosing different colors of paint. Once you have chosen those, gently paint each hand and place them at a slight angle on the paper. Next, use a marker to create the tentacles. Finally, around your butterfly write or draw pictures of how grief has changed you. You may want to discuss these with someone your trust.
Remember, all feelings are okay to have, and it is important to find safe outlets for them.
