A monthly group where children ages 6 to 12 play games together, participate in a grief-related story time, and make crafts to commemorate their loved one, all while getting to know other children who can relate to their experiences of loss and grief.

The center’s services are perhaps needed now more than ever in its history, as individuals and the community grapple with grief in physical isolation due to the COVID-19 health emergency. In response, the center has moved as many of its group and individual bereavement counseling as is feasible via telehealth. The team’s counselors have all received training in telehealth to be sure that their services meet best practice standards.

Registration is required for all groups and can be completed by calling 888-501-7077 or emailing griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org. For details on telehealth bereavement services, visit www.hospicechesapeake.org/clc-covid-19.
