Love Lives On, Though They Are Gone is such a comforting story about a little fox learning that even though someone they love has passed away, the love they shared never truly disappears. The rhymes are gentle, the message is hopeful, and it gave me that warm feeling of reassurance that’s so important when talking to kids about grief. I loved how it explained that love can be found in memories, in nature, and in our hearts — it’s a beautiful reminder for both children and adults.

When you can’t hug them, hug the memories. 🤗

This tender tale wraps loss in love, showing kids that even when someone is gone, the heart never lets go. 💖✨

💥 Boom — talk about a heart-hug in rhyme! This book takes the big, scary subject of loss and flips it into something gentle, sweet, and hopeful. I loved how Gracie Gratitude shows her friend Felix that love never bails, even when people do — and honestly, it got me a little misty too. If you’ve got kiddos struggling with grief, this book is like a warm blanket and a pep talk all rolled into one. 🦊💖🦋
