Any kind of loss is a very difficult, upsetting experience, and we instinctively try to keep ourselves away from it, but unfortunately, it isn’t possible. Even grown-ups find it challenging to deal with, and in this way, they can’t really help children either. It is time to demolish the taboo around grief and loss and face the fact that it is part of normal life.

Ildiko’s beautiful story will help both children and adults to understand and successfully go through the stages of grief. It serves as a guide, just like Carey does for Anton during his journey through the Blue Forest.

Beyond The Blue Forest is a very emotionally moving, touching tale about loss, with a comforting end about the hope of acceptance and the ability to remember.

Children face change, loss, and big emotions long before they have the words to express them. Beyond the Blue Forest was created to help with that - and now teachers can explore its emotional depth in the classroom through a free PSHE-aligned lesson plan and activity pack.

This downloadable resource supports discussions around grief, change, and emotional wellbeing for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 pupils.
It encourages empathy, creativity, and hope through guided reflection, storytelling, and art-based activities.

The materials are fully PSHE curriculum-linked, designed to help children recognise, name, and manage difficult feelings in a safe and imaginative way.

This resource grew from my own experience - losing my husband and raising our two children through grief. I wrote Beyond the Blue Forest as the book I wish we’d had back then: a gentle, comforting story to help children (and adults) understand that emotions can be transformed, not feared.
