💙🧡 November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month — a time to recognize the needs of grieving children and surround them with hope and understanding.

According to the JAG Institute, 1 in 10 kids in Missouri will lose a parent or sibling before the age of 18 — a reminder of just how many children need our compassion and support.

At Lost & Found Grief Center, we see ripples of hope every week as kids and parents realize they’re not alone. 🌊

💙🧡 November is Children's Grief Awareness Month, when we remember the 1-in-10 Missouri children who will lose a parent or sibling before turning 18. One of those children is Julian.

He lost his dad as a pre-teen, and his grandma and great-grandmother the following year. After attending Lost & Found's grief groups, he learned he wasn't alone. He slowly began to find hope. Today, he is encouraging others to cherish all the moments."

We know Halloween can be fun for some, and at the same time, hard for adults and kids navigating grief. Remember to be kind and thoughtful all day long. We appreciated this article from What's Your Grief about Halloween. 🎃

💙🧡Children's Grief Awareness Month Begins tomorrow, November 1!

Grieving during Halloween? You’re not alone. Check out What’s Your Grief?’s article Grief at Halloween: It’s Very Scary where they discuss a few general reasons why Halloween might be tough for some grieving individuals.

Thank you to our friends at Central Bank for dressing down with purpose! 👖💙 Their Casual Day on October 29 will help support grieving children and families through Lost & Found Grief Center.

This November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month, and we’d love to see more workplaces join in the fun — wear blue on Thursdays, host a jeans day, or get creative in showing your support for grieving kids. 💙

Together, we can make it a little easier for kids to feel seen, supported, and never alone. 💫
