Children's Grief Groups
Children need an opportunity to express their
grief in their own way in their own time. Many times children who have
experienced the death of a loved one feel isolated from their peers and
alone in their grief. Through art, play, outdoor experiences and peer
support, they are given an opportunity to share feelings and open up in an
environment that is welcoming and understanding of their loss.
Call the Children's Outreach Coordinator,
Candice Slate, at 864.224.3358 x3132 to
discuss our groups in further detail.

Individual & Family Sessions
Individual and family sessions for hospice
families who have
children anticipating the death or grieving the loss of a loved one, can be
arranged by calling 864.224.3358 x3132.
The use of art, sand trays and play therapy allow children to express their
grief in a manner that is inviting and fun. |

Anticipatory Grief
Our children's grief counselor can explain the process of illness, death and
funerals
using age appropriate techniques and activities.

Bereavement
After the death of a loved one, our children's grief counselor focuses on
the child's unique expression of grief, coping and change. Memories
are shared and explored via art, play and meaningful activities.
