Forgotten Grievers: Supporting Kids and Teens
By Abigail Briggs, LMSW

“…suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little.” — Viktor Frankl

Grief isn’t just an adult experience. Children and teens feel loss deeply, sometimes in ways that are harder to recognize. Even infants sense the absence of someone important.

Dr. Alan Wolfelt refers to children as “the forgotten mourners” because, often, adults try to shield them from pain. While we want to protect them, we can also be the ones who help them find moments of joy and connection within their grief.

Kids often communicate their feelings through actions rather than words. They may exhibit regression, disorganization, acting-out behaviors, guilt, fear, sadness, or even a lack of emotional response. That’s why it’s so important for caring adults to create safe spaces for kids to express, process, and heal.

“Grieving is a journey that teaches us how to love in a new way.” — Tom Attig

Thank You for Supporting our Hospice Thrift Store - Post Falls! 💙 🛒

For more than 37 years, the Hospice Thrift Store has been a cherished part of our local community. Together, we’ve created something truly meaningful: a store that not only offered great treasures but also helped fund compassionate end-of-life care, grief support, and community education through Hospice of North Idaho.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing staff, devoted volunteers, loyal shoppers, generous donors, and the entire community for your unwavering support. Your dedication has allowed us to carry forward our mission of care and compassion for decades, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

As we prepare to close this chapter, we invite you to visit us for our final day open tomorrow, on Friday, November 8th, open 9 am - 6 pm. Please stop by for major discounts, store fixtures, hangers, and many free items as we clear out our space one last time.

While this location is closing, we remain hopeful for a future space where the Hospice Thrift Store can continue its legacy of giving and community support.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for 37 wonderful years! 🕊️
