Activity Page

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:

Feelings of Grief

Supplies Needed

Paper

Markers

Directions:

For this month’s activity, we are making an outline of feelings of grief. You may have lots of different feelings when you think about the person or pet that has died. You may feel these feelings all over your body. Let’s make a feelings of grief outline.

Start by making an outline of a person. Next, select different colors to represent the many feelings you may have. Assign a color to each feeling. Finally, using the color that represents the feeling you have, color it in on the body where you may be feeling it. Is it in your tummy? Your chest? Do your legs feel heavy from a feeling? You may have lots of colors to add or only a few.

You may want to discuss as a family what you are feeling and where.

Remember, all feelings are okay to have, and it is important to find safe outlets for them.
