BEANIE'S GENTLE GOODBYE PROGRAM

Helping children understand loss with compassion, comfort, and hope.

Provides age-appropriate education and emotional support for children experiencing grief, loss, or bereavement.

Through Beanie-centered storybooks, guided activity journals, and caregiver resources, children are gently taught how to name their feelings, honor memories, and understand that grief looks different for everyone. The program also includes discussion prompts and comfort tools to support conversations at home, in schools, hospitals, and foster care settings—ensuring no child feels alone as they navigate loss.
