The app consists of three parts:

Part 1
The first part describes the app content and the purpose of the app.

Part 2
The second part contains knowledge relating to children's grief reactions, support of children, forms of communication and FAQ.

Part 3
The third part contains pedagogical tools for conversing with children, including exercises and 12 dialogue images providing starting points for dialogue. The dialogue images represent themes such as illness and death and themes such as happiness and play. In this way, the images make it possible to talk about both grief and happiness. Images of illness and death present a tangible approach to themes that would otherwise be difficult to approach. Images of happiness give the child an opportunity to get a break from the grief. At the same time adults can gain insight into the child's thoughts about happiness in his or her everyday life.

This app is mainly intended for parents looking after children aged 2-11 years of age.
