How to Construct A Grief Box

1. Explain “Adoption Project”

2. Select a Box Large Enough to Contain Several Items

3. Make a List of What Makes You Feel Sad

4. Find Items that Represent Each Item on the “Sad List”

5. Remove Items One at a Time and Pour your Heart Out to Someone You Love.

7. Choose to Give Thanks for Each Loss because God will make you stronger through it and help you to know Him better.

8. Place your box on a shelf until you experience another loss and then repeat the process.
