My Review
This is a children’s book that tells children that it is okay to have feelings after a love one dies.It explains that feelings are neither good or bad. I think children will enjoy the pictures.
I receive a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
About the Author
Karen Broughis an award-winning author who calls Australia home. As a wife, mother of three and former teacher, she writes with a teacher’s heart for children. Karen always knew she would write a book about processing loss and grief, so she became a student of the science of grief. When Karen lost a beloved friend in 2022, she turned to writing as part of her grieving process. This story is the result—a hope investment from her heart to yours. She believes it will help others know they are not alone in their loss and reassure those who don’t know what to do with all their big emotions.
More from Karen
This book has been a story of the heart and was written, well before my pen hit a page.
I had a gentle whisper of an idea to study grief, knowing that I would write a book about it at some stage, I began. At the end of my year of study, we sadly had a dear friend, taken from us far too soon. The story came to life as I processed my own grief and its words tended to my own heart.
I wanted to write a book that didn’t focus on the loss itself, but rather, gave children/adults some gentle encouragement and hope, in their own loss. A book that invested hope and reassurance about big emotions in times of loss and
grief.
It has been written in such a way, that the loss is never given a name, so the reader can adopt and relate to the mouse family as part of their own. The readers of ‘I Can’t Believe They’re Gone,’ can download their own grief activity

Thank you for sharing your review of I Can’t Believe They’re Gone, this sounds like a wonderful book for children of families that have suffered a loss
Sounds like a great book to help kids deal with grief in their own terms!!
