A heartfelt message from our partner Lionheart Camp For Kids π§‘ Today is National Grief Awareness Day. When someone important dies, a grieving parent is often navigating their own loss while also supporting their child through theirs β sitting beside their sadness, making space for their anger, and somehow keeping family life moving. As Lionheart reminds us, there's no perfect way to do it, and you don't need all the answers. Sometimes simply being there, and making space for each other's grief, is enough π
Through Leave2Give, employees can turn unused annual leave into a donation for work like this β straight through payroll, at no cost to the employer and no impact on take-home pay.

Today is National Grief Awareness Day π§‘
When someone important in your family dies, youβre not only navigating your own grief.
You may also be answering your childβs questions. Sitting beside their sadness. Making space for their anger. Reassuring them when theyβre worried. Remembering the school lunches, getting everyone where they need to be, and somehow keeping family life moving.
All while missing your Important Person too.
Supporting a grieving child while you are grieving yourself can be incredibly complex. There is no perfect way to do it, and you donβt need to have all the answers.
Sometimes, simply being there and making space for each otherβs grief is enough.
At Lionheart, we walk alongside children, teens and their families as they learn to live with grief, together.
This National Grief Awareness Day, letβs keep making space for grief, in all the ways it shows up π¦π§‘
