Re: bereavement advice

Maybe places of worship offer spouse/parent support groups.

you're a good friend looking into this for her.

My friend became a widow at 34. She was left with a 6 month old, 3 year old and two step children 15 and 13. She found a lot of support for the older kids through their school guidance counselor. For herself, she joined a group she found through her church.

Re: bereavement advice

I have some info. on a childrens Grief Camp that is offered each summer for the kids & also the caregiver is able to attend. It is for any child that has lost an family member. She calls it Camp Comfort and it was started in 2003 for the first time!!


It is run by my cousin who was widowed at age 40 with 3 children who were 5, 7 & 9 at the time.

She hosts a huge golf outing each year to raise the money for this camp & it is free to the families.

Please FM me for any details for it.
