J3F Growing Through Grief™ Series
ELEMENTARY EDITION ISBN: 979-8-9946516-0-5
The J3F Growing Through Grief™ Series is a core program of the Jackson 3 Foundation, created to ensure that children, youth, and young adults impacted by the loss of a parent or loved one are seen, supported, and never alone. The series is an interactive, age-appropriate grief education resource designed to help young people understand grief, build emotional literacy, and develop healthy coping skills over time.
The series includes four developmentally specific editions—elementary, middle school, high school, and college— allowing J3F and its partners to meet children and young adults where they are emotionally, academically, and developmentally.
MIDDLE EDITION ISBN: 979-8-9946516-1-2
Rooted in the lived experience and mission of the Jackson 3 Foundation, the Growing Through Grief™ Series reflects J3F’s commitment to long-term healing, prevention, and stability for children and families navigating loss. In addition to emotional support, the series introduces age-appropriate life skills, including basic financial literacy concepts for older youth and young adults—helping participants build confidence, responsibility, and a sense of control during times of transition.
The Growing Through Grief™ Series is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and prevention-focused, making it appropriate for both community-serving programs and individual use. It is designed for use within schools and school districts, victim witness and advocacy programs, family justice centers, public health and prevention initiatives, hospice and bereavement services, healthcare systems, and community-based organizations. The series is also available for families, caregivers, and individuals seeking a thoughtful, supportive resource for a child or young adult experiencing grief.
HIGH SCHOOL EDITION ISBN: 979-8-9946516-2-9
Author Credibility & J3F Leadership
The Growing Through Grief™ Series was developed by the founders of the Jackson 3 Foundation, whose work is informed by lived experience of childhood loss and advanced academic training in psychology, counseling, education, and business law. Their collective background reflects a deep understanding of how grief evolves over time and how children and young adults experience loss across developmental stages.
The authors bring graduate-level education, ongoing clinical training, and extensive experience in leadership, service, and youth-focused work. This combination of professional preparation and lived insight ensures the series is developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed, and suitable for educational, justice-adjacent, healthcare, community-based, and home settings—without replacing clinical care.
Through the Jackson 3 Foundation, the authors remain actively engaged in providing referrals, resources, and opportunities that help children and families grow, connect, and heal, reinforcing J3F’s belief that grief support should address both emotional well-being and long-term stability.
COLLEGE EDITION ISBN: 979-8-9946516-3-6
