Tender topics

How to talk to your child about death

When someone you both love has died, the hardest part is often knowing how to begin. Grief-informed practice is clear: be honest, use plain words, follow the child's lead, and make remembering welcome — not a test. That's exactly how Kinvora's grief pack is built.

Questions, answered

How do you explain death to a child?

Grief specialists advise plain, honest words (“died”, not “lost” or “asleep”), kept simple and led by the child's questions. Kinvora uses that plain-language approach and never forces the conversation deeper than the child wants to go.

Is this a substitute for grief counselling?

No. Kinvora is a warm conversation tool, not therapy. If your child is struggling, please reach out to a grief professional or your doctor — the pack is designed to sit alongside that support, not replace it.

Is the pack safe for children?

It's written with grief-informed and safeguarding principles and reviewed by a qualified professional, with every tender question easy to skip.
