Everyone experiences grief at some point in their life; sometimes it is an unconscious sentiment that could be brought to the surface via art-making, allowing for self-expression of these emotions.  Childhood grief may be of particular difficulty for a child to experience and understand.  The difficulty can be amplified when the loss is that of a caregiver who they rely on and are strongly attached to.  Children may be faced with the lack of self-expressive language or life experience to engage with the emotions that are connected to their grief.  An art therapy intervention for school-aged children affected by grief following the loss of a primary caretaker is proposed which integrates attachment theory, Winnicott’s concept of transitional objects, and grief and bereavement research.  The intervention uses doll making in a group setting to serve as a positive reminder of the departed attachment figure that can provide a way to honor the relationship.
