The Day My Heart Felt Heavy
A Gentle Story About Grief and Missing Someone
“We miss him because we love him – it’s true.”
Min loves Saturdays in Grandpa Joon’s garden. When Grandpa dies, Min’s chest feels heavy, like a big rainy cloud. With Mom, Grandma Soon and a kind teacher, Min learns that every feeling is okay, that it is never Min’s fault, and that remembering – with a Memory Box, funny stories and Grandpa’s sunflowers – can make the heavy feel a little lighter.
A cozy rhyming story for ages 3–7 that reminds every child: love stays.
