Project Christine provides grief support for parents and families grieving the death of an infant or child (under the age of 18).
Grief is a reflection of love, and people of different ages grieve in different
ways. Finding ways to express and share those feelings within families
is vital to connection, healing, and remembering cherished family members
we have lost. This is especially true of families with grieving children.
This free program includes:
Dinner - a meal shared together
Peer-based support for parents and siblings in separate support groups
Arts- and music-based activities for surviving siblings (grades K-12)
Professional grief support from licensed counselors, music therapist, and
trained bereavement volunteers
