To close out National Grief Awareness Week, we’re highlighting NJ4S's free Glimpse of Grief program for schools and communities. To continue to support those who are grieving, we must talk about grief openly and honestly, and work together to reduce the stigma around it.

Heal with NJ4S as we explore grief as a natural response to loss and remind one another that everyone grieves in their own way. You are never alone.

In late November, NJ4S Morris-Sussex Director Tracy Cappiccille hand delivered the Community Coach of the Season – Fall 2025 to the selected individuals. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the coaches and school representatives at West Morris-Mendham, Morris Knolls, and Mount Olive High Schools Morris Knolls High School Mount Olive School District. We thank the schools for their participation and enthusiasm in helping us recognize these dedicated and supportive coaches working with the youth of Morris and Sussex Counties.

In honor of Grief Awareness Week, we’re sharing a clip from our virtual presentation, A Glimpse of Grief During the Holidays. Let this serve as a reminder that grief isn’t only about death, we also grieve change, identity shifts, youth, freedom, and the chapters we leave behind.

You can check out this full webinar on our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlrjwr5BgKM&t=71s. No matter what you're grieving, your feelings are valid, and you are never alone.

The first week of December is observed annually as National Grief Awareness Week. According to SAMHSA, this week is "an important observance dedicated to raising awareness about grief and loss. It aims to break the stigma surrounding grief, acknowledging that it is a natural response to loss and can affect individuals in various ways. This week provides an opportunity to offer support to those who are grieving, foster understanding, and promote open conversations about this often-sensitive topic."

Grief is normal, natural, and a unique process for all. Join us this week to honor all who are grieving.
