This kit offers trauma-informed language, gentle guidance, and meaningful activities to help siblings understand what happened, feel emotionally safe, and remain connected to their family and their baby sibling.
Rather than avoiding hard conversations, this resource helps adults speak honestly, clearly, and compassionately, without overwhelming children or placing emotional burden on them.
This kit supports:
Explaining pregnancy or infant loss in age-appropriate ways
Parenting through grief while supporting living children
Answering difficult questions with honesty and care
Validating big emotions such as sadness, anger, fear, or confusion
Creating safe opportunities for remembrance and connection
The tools inside are designed to be adapted, not performed perfectly. Families and providers can use them as conversation starters, reassurance, and grounding support during a deeply vulnerable time.
