“Edna” by Susan Paradis is a beautiful resource for children who have experienced something troubling or even traumatic in their lives. Edna the Elephant feels like her insides are tied up in knots, especially when she thinks about that bad thing that happened. With friends and coping, Edna learns ways to find calm and untie her knots, little by little.

The Grief and Loss Lending Library at Olivia’s House is a sight to behold! Each shelf is filled with the most unique, age-appropriate, and up-to-date resources, and it is our honor to share them with the community!

To remember your special person this holiday season, try setting up a special “Memory Stocking” or decorative bowl in their honor! Invite your family to write down their memories as they come, and add them to the container. You can choose to read all of the memories at once, send them up to the sky in a paper lantern, or do whatever your heart feels is right!

Grieving during the holidays can be a tough task, so Olivia’s House is here to help you ease into the season! Each week, tune into our page for creative and unique suggestions on how to remember your special person during the holidays.

We were honored to host students from Future Leaders of York (a program of Leadership York) last month during their site visit! One of our very own, Executive Director K.C., was a former FLY student, so this day is always very special. We spent the morning sharing our mission with the students and how Olivia’s House meets the needs of our community. These students are going to be wonderful leaders one day, and we are proud to be part of their journey!

Is that. . .Miss Julia times TWO?! Don’t worry - your screen isn’t glitching! This week in Little Ones we’re taking a step back in time to, well, REMEMBER! Remembering is a gift we give ourselves, but sometimes it can be hard to find the right way to approach reminiscing with the family. Luckily, our Little Ones are up to the task! We can’t wait to see everyone this week for our final virtual session of Little Ones!
