When Someone We Love Goes Away

When Someone We Love Goes Away is a gentle children’s picture book about grief, death, love, and missing someone.

Written with simple, honest language and soft watercolor illustrations, this book helps children understand that when someone dies, their body stops working, but love does not go away. Through calm words, emotional reassurance, and inclusive illustrations of boys and girls, children are reminded that sadness, anger, quiet days, laughter, and happy moments are all part of grief.

This comforting book includes reflection and activity pages where children can remember someone they love, draw a picture, name their feelings, choose ways to remember, and learn what to do when feelings feel big.

Ideal for families, bedtime reading, classrooms, counselors, therapists, grief support, and social-emotional learning, this book creates a gentle place for children and grown-ups to talk about loss, remembrance, and love.

A comforting keepsake for children who are grieving, missing someone, or learning that love stays with us always.
