A gentle grief guide for adults, children & families

Download your free guide to navigating grief with compassion, understanding, and care.

Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely, especially when you’re trying to hold everything together for others.

This free guide has been created to gently support you and your family, offering reassurance, simple practices, and reminders that you’re not doing grief wrong.

💜 Free
💜 Gentle
💜 No pressure
💜 Take what you need, leave the rest

You don’t need to be “ready to heal”.
You don’t need the right words.
You just need somewhere safe to begin.

What This Guide Will Do for You.

This guide is not about fixing grief or rushing healing. It’s about supporting you where you are right now.

Inside, you’ll find:

a compassionate understanding of grief and how it shows up
reassurance that grief isn’t linear (for adults or children)
gentle practices to support emotional regulation
simple ways to support grieving children
grounding tools you can return to on hard days
reflection prompts for adults and children
ideas for remembering and honouring loved ones
carefully chosen book recommendations and resources

Everything is offered gently, with no expectations.

This guide may support you if you’re grieving the loss of someone you love, supporting a grieving child or family member, or feeling unsure how to talk about grief with children. It’s for those moments when emotions feel heavy, confusing, or unpredictable, and you’re seeking gentle support without pressure or judgement. You are welcome here — whether your grief is recent or something you’ve been carrying quietly for years.

ABOUT THE GUIDE - Created from lived experience

This guide has been created by Amanda Ibbotson, founder of The Graceful Healing Space.

It’s written from lived experience, not textbooks or theories, and shaped by years of navigating grief within family life, including supporting children through loss.

This guide does not replace professional or therapeutic support, but it can sit alongside it as a calm, compassionate companion.
