Missing Pieces is a reflective piece built on lived-experience. An emotional companion for children and teenagers affected by parental addiction, absence, grief, and complex family relationships. Created from lived experience, this book gently takes readers on a journey to better understand emotions and feelings such as sadness, anger, confusion, loneliness, guilt, grief, and hope through reflective writing, emotional validation, guided prompts, and compassionate reminders. Missing Pieces was created to help young people feel: understood, less alone, and emotionally safe while navigating difficult family experiences. This is not a book that tells children how they should feel. It is a book written from a young person’s heart and lived experience to help readers understand, process, and accept emotions in a healthy way. Written by “Imogen,” a young person with lived experience, and supported by Open Door Housing & Support Foundation.
