Why Memory Activities Matter

When a child experiences loss, sharing memories can help them maintain a connection with the person they miss while providing opportunities to talk about their feelings. Memory activities can offer comfort, encourage conversation, and remind children that it is okay to remember, smile, and celebrate special moments.

Recommended For:

Ages 4–11, although older children may also enjoy creating memory stars as part of their own remembrance journey.
