Grief Doodling

Grief Doodling is a different approach to coping with loss. It gets tweens and teens to participate, think, set goals, and start walking a healing path.

From the very first page, Grief Doodling invites action. Topics range from the benefits of doodling, to why doodling is fun, to doodling tips, and responding to doodling prompts. The prompts, based on grief research, promote self-worth and healing.

This is a hopeful book---something all grieving kids need.

Grief Doodling is an insightful, creative way for tweens and teens to express and process grief. Hodgson aptly reminds readers that there is no right or wrong way to doodle---or to grieve. Hodgson's illustrations are poignant in how they illustrate and bio-psycho-social impact of grief. Grief Doodling will help children and bereaved people of all ages." - Heidi Smith, Fellow in Thantology, Certified Grief Therapist
