Welcome, If you are experiencing grief or supporting someone who is, you have come to the right place. Although grief is a natural response to loss, there is no timeline or right way to grieve. Having someone who will support your unique way of grieving can bring you the hope needed to navigate this difficult time. If your child is grieving, you may be looking for support to help them process their loss in a healthy way. Having someone who understands how children grieve and can encourage the expression of their thoughts and feelings can provide comfort and relief for both you and your child.
