Our Philosophy
Children's grief is unique and encompasses many natural reactions. Canary Garden provides group support through interaction with peers, trained volunteers, and professionals. Family members have opportunities to acknowledge their grief and to continue their lives in a hopeful and confident manner. C.S. Lewis wrote, "Grief is like a long valley." At Canary Garden we understand that grief is a journey you do not have to make alone.What Is Grief Support or Bereavement Support?
Approximately one in 20 children experience the death of a parent before they reach the age of eighteen. Many others experience the death of a brother or sister. By sharing their grief experiences with other young people, children and teenagers are better able to resolve their grief and move forward in the healing process.Canary Garden offers a safe, comfortable environment in which to express grief and its many emotions. Our groups offer open-end support, because we understand the timetable for the grief and bereavement process varies with each individual. You leave when you are ready to move on, not before.
