Project Description

Project Description

Losing a loved one is a difficult and heart-breaking part of life. For children, this is especially true as they learn to navigate many new, complex emotions. Copeful is a tablet application that combines technology and creativity to help adults and children ages 7 to 10 discuss and share their grief. Addressing death and helping children express themselves can be emotional, difficult and often unfamiliar for adults. Copeful aims to increase communication through personal and shared experiences, helping individuals work through their grief together.

She’s got lots of colorful socks and is a Taco Eating Champion. Recently, Nubla hasn’t been feeling like herself.
