What happens when a hero doesn’t come home?
Roman’s dad is in the Army. When he leaves, Roman and his brothers are told they must live in the “Maybe” not knowing when he will return. To cope, their mum teaches them about The Invisible Bridge - a powerful, unbreakable connection made of love, memories and courage.
But when the “Maybe” changes into a “Forever,” Roman must learn that the bridge was never about waiting… it was about staying connected.
The Invisible Bridge is a gentle, emotionally intelligent children’s book for ages 6–9 that helps young readers understand death, military loss, and big feelings in a safe and compassionate way.
Through storytelling and practical tools, this book introduces:
• Simple language to explain death to children
• Coping strategies for grief and anxiety
• The “Brave Breath” calming technique
• Memory rituals and linking objects
• A dedicated space for children to write or draw their feelings
• Guidance pages for parents, carers and teachers
Created especially for military families and children grieving the loss of a parent, this story reassures young hearts that love does not disappear, it changes form.
Includes a practical “Invisible Bridge Toolkit” designed for children and caregivers to use together, with simple rituals, calming techniques and memory anchors that encourage open conversations, emotional safety and connection.
Tender, hopeful and empowering, The Invisible Bridge reminds children that even when someone stays on the “Other Side,” the connection of love is steady beneath their feet.
Because love does not end when someone stays on the “Other Side” - it changes form.
Written by Wayne Hutchinson and Nadeen Swaby of Handle My Affairs, creators of compassionate resources supporting families through grief, remembrance and life’s most difficult conversations.
