“Always in My Heart” is a book for 9-12 year olds who are experiencing grief.

The book was written by the social work team of St Francis Hospice Dublin in collaboration with bereaved families. The stories in it are real-life examples, with names and details changed. 

This book is designed to be used by parents and guardians to support and guide a child as they grieve. All names and situations have been adapted, so the stories included are not one child’s story, but rather an amalgamation of the worries and experiences that many children have described.

Thanks to sponsorship by Amazon Web Services, this book is available free of charge to anyone who might find it helpful.

Shipping is free of charge to addresses in Ireland.

Orders outside of Ireland will receive a downloadable version of the book by email. If you would like us to post a hard copy of the book please contact info@sfh.ie for information on how to pay the shipping cost.
