When I Met the Grief Guy is a gentle children’s book about loss, love, and learning to live with big feelings. When a young girl experiences grief, a quiet companion appears beside her. He doesn’t try to fix things or make her feel better. He simply stays with her through her stages of grief. Through everyday moments at home, at school, with friends, and in joyful activities, the girl learns that grief doesn’t disappear. It changes shape, grows with us, and can exist alongside joy. Written in comforting rhyme and paired with soft, expressive illustrations, When I Met the Grief Guy helps children understand that their feelings are valid and that they are not alone in their grief. This book is especially meaningful for families navigating loss, including pregnancy and infant loss, and can be used at home, in classrooms, therapy settings, or support groups. All net proceeds from this book are donated to The Isla Jade Foundation , a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting grieving families after the loss of a baby. Includes a special “Color Your Grief Guy” activity page to encourage reflection and conversation.
