Lion's Heart Children's Grief Center

Creating a safe place for children, teens and their families to grieve courageously. 

As a general rule, grief is not talked about very openly in the United States.  Discussing any topic that leaves us breathless and vulnerable feels like a LOT to most humans, however sharing our stories is one of the only things that seems to help.   ​ Grief is a lot of things.  It can be noisy or quiet, tragic, sad, serious, sometimes funny, and is usually very, very messy.       To get through it, we need the courage of a lion to be brave enough to face it.  We want to model to children that it's OK to talk about the person who died- the good memories, the bad, and the messy in-between.  We have courageous conversations with children, because the only way through, is through.
