Life After Grief

Helping Children & Families Navigate Life after Loss

 

Life After Grief provides peer-based support for children and teens navigating significant loss, including the death of a parent or loved one, while also supporting the families who love and care for them.

Our name reflects the belief that while grief never truly disappears, children and teens can learn to move forward with support, connection, and understanding.

We recognize that grief can take many forms. While our primary focus remains supporting children and teens after a death, we also understand that young people may experience grief connected to other significant life losses and changes.

Our programs are designed to offer support in ways that honor each child’s unique experience and needs.

Why Peer Support Matters

Grief can feel isolating, especially for children and teens navigating the death of a parent or loved one who may not know anyone else experiencing a similar loss. Peer support creates a safe space where young people can connect with others who truly understand their feelings.

Through shared experiences, conversation, and supportive activities, children learn they are not alone in their grief. Research shows that peer connection can help young people build resilience, express emotions in healthy ways, and begin to move forward while still honoring the loved ones they have lost.

Support for Every Stage of Grief

Our peer support groups help children and teens connect with others their age who understand the experience of losing someone they love. 
Healing Hearts Circle
 Grades (K - 2nd & 3rd- 5th)

Age-appropriate peer support groups where children connect with peers who understand, share their experiences, and begin to heal through play, art, and guided activities.

Youth Grief

A supportive peer group for middle school & early high school youth navigating the death of a loved one. They connect through conversation, creative expression, and shared understanding. 

Teen Grief

A safe space for teens to talk openly about grief, connect with peers who understand, and develop healthy ways to process their loss. 

Community Connection

Family gatherings such as dinners, game nights, and community activities that foster connection and support.

Healing Hearts, Building Hope Together

Life After Grief provides a safe and compassionate space for children and families  navigating the journey of loss. Through peer-based support programs, we connect families with others who understand, transforming grief into shared strength and healing.

 

We believe no child should grieve alone. Our programs create supportive environments where children and teens can express their feelings, build resilience, and begin to move forward with hope.

 

Grief often comes in waves, sometimes gentle, sometimes overwhelming, but no child should have to face those waves alone. Together, we help children and families find connection, understanding, and the light that still exists beyond loss.

We also recognize that children may experience grief from other significant life losses, and our approach is rooted in meeting each child where they are.
