A Special Kind of grief support...

A child’s grief is different than adult grief. Children grieve and re-grieve. Regardless of when a loss has occurred, children tend to revisit the grief experience at each developmental stage and when there are important anniversaries and special occasions.

Our Mission

small bkg heart

To assist in creating a safe culture in southern Idaho, where children and teenagers, ages 6 through 17, who have experienced the death of someone they care about, can share their feelings of grief and loss, including grief experienced in preparation for these losses, with their peers and supportive adult volunteer advocates as they progress toward eventual healing on their journey through grief.
