Healing Hearts Program for Grief & Loss

Support Groups for Children

Bereavement groups can be important tools in helping young children grieve. Activities are based on developmental understanding and provide meaningful opportunities for healing. A group for the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) takes place while children meet in their age-appropriate support groups.

• Littles for children ages 4-8
• Middles for children ages 9-12
• Teens for those who are 13 to 18 years old

Support Groups for Adults

Grief is challenging and takes many forms. It can be overwhelming physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Perhaps you are sleeping more than usual or find that you are unable to fall or stay asleep. You notice changes in your appetite. Along with a roller coaster of emotions, thoughts and memories are unexpectedly triggered. Spiritual questions may arise.

The duration and intensity of grief are unique for each individual, as is the type of grief someone is experiencing. As you move along your journey towards hope and healing, being with others who are experiencing what you are can provide comfort and support.

Healing Hearts adult grief support groups are designed to address specific losses. We have groups for:

• Coping with the death of a spouse
• Living with the loss of a child
• General soss for those dealing with the loss of a parent, sibling, or other loved one
