When Dad dies, the world changes — quietly, deeply, and forever.

A Spark in My Heart is a guided grief journal created especially for teen boys who’ve lost their dad. It’s not about “being strong” or “moving on.” It’s about being real. About having a place to put the thoughts you don’t want to say out loud, the memories you don’t want to lose, and the love that still burns inside you.

Through reflective prompts, short poems, and honest pages, this journal helps boys navigate the waves of grief — one day, one word, one page at a time.
It offers space to write, draw, and remember. To be angry. To be quiet. To heal.

Each section — Right Now, First Steps, Strengths I Didn’t See Before, Looking Back / Moving Forward, and Carrying Dad Forward — gently guides teens from raw pain toward resilience, self-discovery, and peace.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Simple, real guidance written for teenage boys (no fluff, no clichés).

  • Reflective prompts that help express emotions and memories.

  • Encouraging poems that remind them they’re not alone.

  • Pages to write, sketch, or create — in their own way, at their own pace.

This isn’t a book that tells you how to “get over it.”
It’s a space that reminds you it’s okay to feel it — and that love doesn’t disappear.
It just changes how it stays.

For every boy who’s ever whispered, “I miss my Dad,”
this journal is proof that his spark still lives in you.

When a dad dies, the world shifts.
The laughter, the advice, the steady presence — gone in an instant, leaving a space that feels too big to fill.

A Spark in My Heart was created especially for teenage girls who are learning how to live with that kind of loss.
This guided grief journal isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about remembering — about giving her a safe space to write, cry, dream, and heal while carrying her father’s love forward in her heart.

Across five gentle sections — Right Now, First Steps, Strengths I Didn’t See Before, Looking Back / Moving Forward, and Carrying Dad Forward — this journal helps girls:

Find words for feelings that are hard to say aloud
Hold onto special memories and moments
Discover strength, courage, and resilience they didn’t know they had
See that love doesn’t disappear — it simply changes how it stays

Each page offers space to write, reflect, or draw, with short poems, soft prompts, and comforting guidance designed just for girls.

A Spark in My Heart reminds her that it’s okay to grieve and still laugh, to miss him and still move forward, and that her father’s love lives on — quietly, forever — in the spark she carries within.

For every girl who’s ever whispered, “I miss my Dad,”
this journal is proof that his light is still with you.
