For Children

Child and Adolescent Grief

The death of a parent, sibling, or someone close can be devastating for children and teens. They experience a range of intense emotions including sadness, anger, fear, and guilt. Talking about the death with peers who have not had a similar experience can be uncomfortable and make kids feel different. Children may be reluctant to share their grief with surviving family members for fear of upsetting them. Too often, children end up grieving alone.

At OUR HOUSE, children ages 4-18 are placed in groups which are specific to age and their relationship to the person who died.

Child and Adolescent Support Groups

  • are age and relationship specific
  • help children and adolescents begin to heal
  • offer a warm, safe place to interact with other children and adolescents experiencing similar feelings and life changes
  • utilize various methods for grief expression (art, music, play, creative writing)
