Do this together
Our story in stones
Tell the story of what happened to them, one stone at a time, from before to what comes next.
Before you start
For the grown-up- 1Tell your child what you're going to do together, roughly how long it takes, and that either of you can stop at any time.
- 2Before you begin, think about the honest words you'll use for how they died. Short, true and simple is best.
- 3Some stones are harder than others. You don't have to do them all today.
- 4Plan something cosy for afterwards, like a snack or a walk.
- 5Have tissues and a drink nearby. Tears and laughter are both welcome.

Why this helps
Children cope better when they know the truth in words they can understand. Telling the story in order, with a trusted grown-up, helps it make sense, and returning to it lets them understand more as they grow. Ending with what comes next shows that life, and the bond with them, carries on.
