A gentle introduction to understanding loss, including sudden or traumatic loss, through stories, emotion-sharing, and creative activities.
About this Event

This July, we invite families, caregivers, and community members to join us for a special three-part Children’s Grief Healing CommUNITY event, designed to provide age-appropriate grief support and a safe space for children navigating loss. The summer series before our Children’s Grief Awareness Month event in November, this series will foster collective healing, meaningful conversations, and creative expression for grieving children.

Each session will be tailored to specific age groups to address their unique understanding of grief:

  • Ageds 5-8: Understanding Feelings of Loss Using stories, art, and play to help young children express their emotions and understand loss.
  • Ages 9-12: Expressing Grief Through Creativity Providing a space for open dialogue, creative activities, and tools to navigate feelings of grief.
  • Ages 13-17: Honoring and Remembering Together Encouraging peer connection, reflection, and personal storytelling as they process their experiences.

Each event is age group specific.

We will also provide some helpful tips for parents/caregivers to support children with grief.


Activities

🕑: 12:00 PM
Story Time

Info: We will open by reading an age-appropriate book about grief and loss. This will help start the conversation about grief and loss.


Feelings Circle

Info: Use emotion cards to help children express how they feel about the loss and reinforce that all emotions—sadness, fear, confusion—are okay.


Memorial Rock Painting

Info: Children will paint simple symbols that remind them of their loved one, incorporating any feelings they have about the loss.


Closing Activity

Info: We will end with a group activity to bring out time together to a close.
