Grief Doodling: Bringing Back Your Smiles

By Harriet Hodgson and Harriet Hodgson MA

Grief Doodling is a different approach to coping with loss. It gets tweens and teens to participate, think, set goals, and start walking a healing path

From the very first page, Grief Doodling invites action. Topics range from the benefits of doodling, to why doodling is fun, to doodling tips, and responding to doodling prompts. The prompts, based on grief research, promote self-worth and healing.

This is a hopeful book---something all grieving kids need.

Grief Doodling will take the reader's hand and lead them down an inspiring and whimsical path toward healing. Hodgson has created a magnificent tool that every person experiencing loss should have at their fingertips. I love this book " - Sandy Goodman, grief speaker and author of Love Never Dies

Grief Doodling is an insightful, creative way for tweens and teens to express and process grief. Hodgson aptly reminds readers that there is no right or wrong way to doodle---or to grieve. Hodgson's illustrations are poignant in how they illustrate and bio-psycho-social impact of grief. Grief Doodling will help children and bereaved people of all ages." - Heidi Smith, Fellow in Thantology, Certified Grief Therapist

Being creative can help work through your pain

GRIEF DOODLING by Harriet Hodgson What a wonderful book! I requested it based upon the doodling part. At this time, I have no grief in my life. The author has a charming way to address grief with doodling. The book is appropriate for all ages of persons to use. She gives handy tips for the types of pens and paper to use for doodling. She mentions when the best time is for doodling (anytime) and where (anywhere) to help you to cope with the things that are giving you stress. There are a lot of whimsical doodles that the author gives you to use. I will use them and using her instructions adapt them with my own designs. This book will help you open your mind to the different possibilities for successful doodling if you are new to doodling. Highly recommend. Much appreciation to #netgalley for the complimentary copy of #griefdoodling I was under no obligation to post a review.
