Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home – Hannah Bear Helps Children Cope With Loss
Posted by: Erin Ward in Funeral Advice | July 12, 2021
Traverse City, MI – When a death occurs in a family, some of the most frequent questions that come up relate to children and how to address the topic of death. Common questions a funeral director often hears in this circumstance are: what age should a child come to a service? How do I explain death to my child? Is it OK if I cry around my children? How do I explain a funeral/cremation to my child? This list can go on for a long time.
To address this issue, Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services developed the idea for Hannah Bear. The funeral home had previously given teddy bears named Hannah to small children after experiencing a loss. For this version of Hannah Bear, the funeral home developed a coloring book to help answer common questions children have about death as well as give the child something to do during the preplanning of the service and on the day of the funeral.
Each page of the coloring book offers advice, explanations, and tips to help children cope with the loss of a loved one. While the book is geared towards children, parents have also benefited from it as a tool to learn from.
The author of the book Lindsey (Jonkhoff) Rogers has said that “communication is one of the keys to help cope with grief, and this book facilitates open, honest and genuine communication in a very non-threatening way. This is true for not only our community but any funeral home who creates their own coloring book too.”
The book and the teddy bear are available throughout the funeral home as well as in all of the transfer vehicles. Whenever the staff is serving a family, they are quick to present the bear and book to children to help them cope with the emotions they are feeling.
The book has the potential to help almost every family the funeral home serves because nearly every family has children, grandchildren, or other relatives that can benefit from the advice offered throughout it.
The feedback and benefits from the Hannah Bear coloring book have been nothing but positive. As a result, Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services is now in the process of making the book available for other funeral homes across the country to purchase to help children in their area cope with a loss.

The "Hannah Bear" initiative is commendable. Considering the emotional complexity, perhaps incorporating a Random Tarot Card reading (age-appropriate) could offer further comfort.

Aw, Hannah Bear is such a lovely idea! Helping kids understand grief with a coloring book is so sweet. It's great to see funeral homes like AI Cover Letter Generator thinking outside the box to support families during tough times.

Aw, this is so thoughtful! What a sweet and gentle way to help kids understand and cope with such a difficult time. I love the idea of the coloring book! Taking a moment for self-care activities like Chill Guy Clicker can also provide a calming break for parents and caregivers during these challenging conversations.

I have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 2 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Ogudugu helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is greatogudugu@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony to the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. If you are having a similar problem just email him on greatogudugu@gmail.com Or whatsapp him via +2348163026536
