This , your support can help children, teens and families navigate loss with compassion and guidance.

When Laurie Thompson passed suddenly in 2023, her family was devastated—especially her grandsons, Theo and Eugene, who were left struggling with grief. Thanks to the Pathways Center for Grief & Loss, they found a safe, supportive place to heal. Through age-specific groups and family programs, they learned to cope, connect and even laugh again—carrying Laurie’s spirit of love and joy forward.
