The SoundCareKids Grief Support groups give children 5-18 years of age and their parents an opportunity to develop new friendships with others who are also grieving the death of a loved one; share feelings, hopes and fears in creative, experiential ways with others who understand; communicate more openly and naturally about death; and learn coping skills for adjusting to difficult changes. Each week builds on the concepts, discussions, and activities of the previous week, so attending every week in the session is recommended. Our session topics include:
Week 1 Learning about grief and getting to know each other
Week 2 Exploring grief feelings and learning how to cope with them
Week 3 Sharing our stories
Week 4 Dealing with regret, guilt, and other unfinished business
Week 5 Identifying and adjusting to changes
Week 6 Memories and Staying Connected
