Grief Doodling: Bringing Back Your Smiles

By Harriet Hodgson

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. When reading it from an eBook, tweens, and teens should have a journal or sketch pad plus a pen or pencil right next to them so they can doodle along.

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 will take the reader's hand and lead them down an inspiring and whimsical path toward healing. Hodgson has created a magnificent tool that every person experiencing loss should have at their fingertips. I love this book!" - Sandy Goodman, grief speaker and author of Love Never Dies

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 Greif Therapist
