Presented by New York Life Foundation, Kai’s Journey is a series about a little boy named Kai who, together with his mom, learns how to navigate a profound loss in their family.  They are E-books that can be downloaded by clicking on the titles below or you can watch the video with your children.  These are geared more towards younger children but asking older siblings to "help" and including them can be just as good for them as it is for their younger siblings.  After reading the E-Book or watching the video have a discussion to help them unpack what they are feeling and give an opportunity for them to ask questions.  There are discussion guides below that you can reference if you are not sure where to start.

For each download New York Life will make a donation to $1 to their foundation that will provide grief resources to families.  Visit New York Life Foundation to download a copy.
