The holidays can feel confusing for children who are grieving.

Simple rituals can help them feel connected, seen, and supported — whether it’s hanging a special ornament, sharing a story, or lighting a candle together.

Small gestures matter.

And little hearts need gentle spaces to remember. ❤️

If your family is navigating grief this season, you’re not alone.

⚠️ Important Notice for the Families We Serve
