Scribble Drawings - Dealing With Death

Sometimes, when a person that we love dies, we get angry. It just seems so unfair. They were a good person who was always smiling or who made you feel good to be around them. But they have died and you can't spend time with them anymore.

A scribble drawing is a safe way to get out the angry feelings. Ask for permission to use a pencil and piece of paper. With your pencil just start scribbling on the paper. You might want to make some angry noises like growling or shouting. Make sure you have a parent or other adult to help you and talk with you about your angry feelings. Anger is a natural way to feel when you are grieving as long as you don't hurt yourself or someone else when you are angry.
