OUR HEALING HEARTS
Kids’ Grief & Big Emotions Support Box
When a child is grieving or overwhelmed by big emotions, they don’t always know how to explain what they feel but they can feel supported, grounded and safe.
Our Healing Hearts is a nurturing grief and emotional support box thoughtfully co-created by two brave children, Zayn and Cami-Rose, who used these exact tools while healing after losing their Daddy. Every item was chosen because it genuinely helped them feel calmer, stronger and less alone during their hardest moments.
Designed by trauma-informed grief coach and somatic practitioner Donna Walsh this box blends neuroscience, somatic regulation, creativity and comfort to help children aged 4–12 gently explore emotions through play, movement and connection.
This is more than a box.
It’s a brave little support system for young hearts, one they can return to whenever life feels heavy.
• What’s Inside
Each box is carefully curated to help children feel grounded, safe and emotionally seen:
• Soft Toy Buddy – a comforting friend to hold for sad or wobbly moments
• Geodes to Crack Open – a symbol of strength, courage, and the beauty found within hard experiences
• “ Our Healing Heart” Workbook (PDF Download) – drawing prompts, body-mapping, mindfulness tools, breathing exercises, movement pages and child-friendly affirmations
• Squeeze Star – for sensory grounding and nervous system regulation
• Coping Skills Activity Cube – playful body based tools for shifting big emotions
• Mini Journal + Pen – a private space for thoughts, memories, or doodles
• Coping & Breathing Sticker - a visual anchor for when emotions feel too big
• Heart-Shaped Affirmation Plaque – words of strength children can see everyday
• 5 Empowering Affirmation Cards – gentle prompts for confidence, courage, and self-compassion
• Plus extra healing treasures chosen with love
Why This Box Is Different
Most children’s grief resources talk at kids.
This one was built by them.
Zayn and Cami-Rose know the confusion, the silence, the weight of grief firsthand. They also know what helped- the power of connection, creativity and having something to hold. This box reflects their lives experience, not a clinical framework.
Every item has been selected with emotional safety, somatic awareness and child development in mind. It doesn’t just offer comfort it teaches children how to move through hard feelings rather than around or suppressing them.
This Bic Perfect For
• Children experiencing grief, loss, or big emotions
• Kids navigating anxiety, separation, or major life changes
• Schools, therapists, counsellors, and support workers
• Parents and carers seeking gentle ways to start conversations about feelings
• Any child who needs grounding, reassurance, and emotional connection
