HEARTPRINTS™
A grief workbook for children
Guiding children through grief with honesty and heart.
What is Heartprints™?
Heartprints is a thoughtfully designed grief workbook that helps children express emotions, preserve memories, and build coping skills after the death of someone they love.
Created by Certified Child Life Specialist Kelly Cox, MS, CCLS, Heartprints provides practical, child-centered tools to support grieving children with confidence and care.
Heartprints™ is thoughtfully designed for:
Families navigating loss
School counselors
Hospice and palliative care teams
Bereavement coordinators
Private practice clinicians
Supporting Grieving Children with Confidence and Care
Many hospice agencies, schools, and clinical teams do not have access to a Certified Child Life Specialist.
Heartprints was created to bridge that gap — offering guided prompts, developmentally informed language, and structured activities that help professionals confidently support grieving children.
Whether used in one-on-one sessions, family meetings, or group settings, Heartprints provides practical tools that bring clarity and confidence to child-centered grief support.
