Today is Children's Grief Awareness day and The Coping Centre has teamed up with The Kitchener Rangers once again to promote awareness about this very important issue. Tomorrow, Friday November 21st, the Rangers will host the Coping Centre to help raise awareness for Child Grief. The Coping Centre will have staff onsite at the Kitchener Auditorium to hand out information and answer your questions during the game. Children are often considered to be the forgotten mourners, with a stereotype of being "resilitant" after a loss. Often they are kept at arms length, many do not attend funerals, and children have told us that they hold back asking questions for fear of making a parent or guardian upset or "sad". But children are also some of the most insightful people when it comes to loss and emotion. Children's Grief Awareness day is meant to highlight the needs of our smallest mourners because if you are old enough to love, then you are old enough to grieve. We hope to see many of you tomorrow. ❤❤
