Losing a Loved One Reassuring Letter

Losing someone they love, whether it’s a grandparent, family member, or friend is one of the hardest experiences a child can go through. As parents, we want to support their grief, validate their emotions, and help them process their loss in a healthy way, but finding the right words to comfort and reassure them can be difficult. That’s where Cleo the Comfort Mermaid & Reef the Reflective Mermaid come in.

This real letter, delivered straight to your child’s post box, has been written by an Early Childhood Educator in consultation with a psychologist to provide a gentle, age-appropriate way to navigate grief. Through the heartfelt undersea story of their beloved friend, Frankie the Fun Mermaid, Cleo and Reef guide children through the waves of loss, helping them understand that grief is a journey, all feelings are valid, and love never disappears.
