One thing you lost. Write what you understood only after losing it.
Have you lost something? Write how it happened.
Everyone gets the same subject. What differs is the follow-up: one question for children, two for teens, three for adults. Only the children's wording is simplified.
Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.
Delete every line anyone could have written. What is left is yours.
Pick one. A single idea taken all the way beats ten touched lightly.
Don't staple two ideas together with 'and'.
Instead of 'I was sad', write what your body did.
Write the visible, not the felt, and the reader stands there with you.
