Overview

Continuity, Not Closure: Teaching Children to Carry Loss Without Being Defined by It Loss changes a child's world-but it does not have to define who they become. Continuity, Not Closure is a profound and compassionate guide for parents, caregivers, educators, and mental health professionals who want to help children navigate grief in healthy, life-affirming ways. Rather than promoting the myth of ""moving on,"" this book teaches how to carry loss with meaning, resilience, and emotional depth-while continuing to grow, love, and thrive. Drawing on psychological insight, emotional development theory, and practical strategies, this book explores how children can maintain bonds with those they've lost, integrate memory into identity, and develop compassion, strength, and perspective through grief. It reframes loss not as an endpoint, but as an ongoing companion that shapes character, relationships, and purpose. Inside, you'll discover: How to talk to children about death, separation, and absence in age-appropriate ways Practical rituals and symbolic practices that foster healthy remembrance Tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and grief literacy Ways to transform memory into legacy and identity-building narratives Strategies for schools, communities, and families to support shared healing How to help children grow through grief without being defined by trauma A powerful framework for living fully while carrying love and loss together This book is not about forgetting. It is about remembering well. It is not about closure. It is about continuity. Whether you are supporting a grieving child or seeking a deeper understanding of childhood loss, Continuity, Not Closure offers a thoughtful, practical, and enduring roadmap for healing, growth, and lifelong connection.
