Child, Teen, and Adult Grief Support and Loss Resources

At some time in every person's lifetime, he or she will experience the grief of loss. People of all ages can feel the emotions of grief. Sadness, anger, frustration, fear, guilt, anxiety, a sense of injustice, remorse, despair, relief, longing, rage, apprehension and so many others make up the feelings of grief. Even babies can show us that they feel the emotions of the adults around them. It is said that if a child is old enough to love, they are old enough to grieve.

Right now, you may be grieving the loss of a baby, a child, a brother or sister, a parent, a grandparent, another family member, a friend, a spouse or partner, or a co-worker.
