“In my teen group, we shared our stories and learned how to grieve healthily. The biggest thing I learned is that there is not one proper way to grieve. We each grieve in our own way. It's okay to be angry, happy, depressed, shocked, confused, or annoyed while grieving. We are encouraged to feel all the emotions of grief. The other teens in my group understand because they also lost someone they love. I’m not alone.”

“When I don’t know where to turn as I grieve my child, the Grief and Loss Center is there for me. I’ve felt renewed and validated so many times by our monthly Zoom meetings. Even if I’m unable to talk, I always find myself able to help or be helped. Being in my group has been a giant step on my journey. Laurie’s ability to get people to manage their grief and move towards peace is her superpower. I’ve never known a more compassionate, sincere facilitator.”
