Amazon.ca:Customer reviews: The Memory Box: A Book About Grief

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 14, 2023

This book is perfect for reading with childs who have lost someone important for them. Not only about death. I would use it for other reasons too, like moving to another country and lost friends, for example. In the story, the child makes a "memory box", putting things that will help to never forget what that person was. It doesn't say : to make it, you have to do this blabla... It simply shows the child doing it, but at the end, we want to make one, too! 🙂 // Ce livre est parfait pour lire avec un enfant qui a perdu un proche. On y voit un enfant qui fait une boîte de souvenirs, pour ne pas oublier cette personne. Le livre n'est pas un mode d'emploi, ça ne dit pas : pour en faire une, il faut faire ceci etc. On voit simplement l'enfant qui la fait; du sable qui rappelle une sortie à la plage, un cahier pour noter des souvenirs, etc. À la fin, on a le goût d'en faire une! Je l'utiliserais pas seulement pour un décès; on voit un cimetière plus loin, mais la mort n'est pas nommée. Ça pourrait aider aussi, lors de la perte d'êtres chers, par exemple suite à un déménagement... C'est une façon créative de traverser une épreuve et d'en faire quelque chose de positif! 😉

The Memory Box is a beautiful and important book. Grief is one of the most difficult emotions for children to deal with. This book helps, in a very sensative and realistic manner. A must-have for any family dealing with loss.

If you have a child going through the loss of a family member or loved one this is the perfect book! I am an almost 30 year veteran of teaching and I loved the book for students experiencing the loss of a family member. It suggests ways for children to cope with death. It truly makes you feel better during such a difficult time.

Pairs great with the book: The Memory Book. I bought both. This one is great at breaking down loss in simple terms for little kids. It has also helped with older ones that just want to process. Great book!

A gentle, touching story to help children process grief

I am always looking for books related to pregnancy and infant loss, which is the reason I purchased this book.
This children's picture book is specifically about children's grief, though it is not limited to grief surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. In the story, the little girl is trying to process her grief after the death of a loved one and is working through how to best hold onto her memories. She develops a "memory box," in which she collects items that help her remember her loved one. She experiences a myriad of emotions, including confusion, sadness, fear, and peace, but she isn't always sure how to understand or communicate what she is feeling. Her memory box, however, helps bring her some comfort and feeling of control.
In the end of this book, there is a two-page guide for adults regarding how to help children process grief.

I recently lost my Mother and my four year old was extremely upset about Her passing. This book was recommended to my Wife and we have read it with our son and used it to talk to him, in a positive way about the subject of death and loss. The illustrations by Thea Baker are superb and Joanna Rowland's storytelling is sensitive and emotive. My Wife and I would recommend this book to Children of all ages.

I bought this book to give to my nieces on the first anniversary of their fathers untimely passing. (Ages 1yr, 3yr, 10yr) We met at the cemetery and had a lovely moment together sitting with their Daddy reading this book. We all cried, grieved, loved, and hugged. It was a wonderful tool to openly talk about these tough feelings together. Thank you for giving us that moment by writing this book

Appropriate for a child who’s lost a sibling

I was searching for a book appropriate for a child who’s lost a sibling. Most of the books I came across were geared more towards a child losing a grandparent. I liked that this book was more general. I bought a beautiful wooden box to gift with the book.
