Free Copies for Bereaved Children During Covid

After the success of her first book ‘Can we go Outside to Play? Not Today’ which was based on her daughter and lockdown. Her new book is based around bereavement and it gives ideas of activities that might help ‘a little bit’. A limited number of copies of the book and activity packs are available for free for families who have been bereaved during Covid19 Pandemic.

Jillian says, ‘I heard stories from friends and family about young children losing their mothers/parents/grandparents from Covid and of course other illnesses during this time and I just wanted to do something small that could help. I have already given away 15 packs and I’m beginning to get feedback from the families about the impact on the children. I am raising money to give away more packs. I think something little like a book won’t help much but it might just make a child smile on a sad day and it might just give families a few ideas about what activities might help through the dark days.’

The packs contain a soft-toy, memory box with paint and craft materials to decorate and a book. She is aiming to give away 40 packs between now and Christmas. The book she has written is freely available from her website and if you would like to give towards the fundraiser follow the link below:
