Children's Grief Centre

The timeline of grief is rarely straightforward. Grief is deeply personal, and every child experiences it differently. For children, it can feel like a roller coaster of emotions as they adjust to a new way of life. They may experience feelings of anger, guilt, sadness, confusion, or even numbness.

Just as with adults, grief often comes in waves. Certain events, memories, or milestones can trigger emotions and bring unexpected feelings to the surface. On days when they feel happy or enjoy themselves, children may also experience guilt, as though they should not be having a good time.

It is important for children to understand that all of these emotions are normal. Grief is not a linear journey, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

The Children’s Grief Centre is here to support, listen to, and help children and young people as they navigate their grief. 💜

The time has come ⛳️

We are so looking forward to meeting all the golfers who have signed up for our Golf Classic tomorrow.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us by signing up teams, sponsoring tee boxes, donating raffle prizes and helping in so many ways. Without your support, events like these simply would not happen.💜

Now all we need is for the sun to shine for us ☀️

See you all on the course!

Dragons on the Inside (and other big feelings) helps children understand their emotions. We can often see how other people are feeling on the outside, but nobody truly knows what feelings are happening on the inside. This story encourages children to talk about their emotions, describe how they are feeling, and understand how others can support and help them.

Here at the Children's Grief Centre children are given the opportunity to look at feelings associated with loss and learn that they are not alone. We aim to help children overcome obstacles that prevent them from leading full lives. 💜

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Regeneron Great Limerick Run , Bear Races and Eventmaster for choosing us as the charity partner for this year’s Kids Fun Run. It was such a wonderful event.

Watching all those smiling faces cross the finish line was truly heart-warming. Congratulations to everyone who took part in both the kids run and all of Sunday's events. You should all be so proud of yourselves!

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many of you on the day and are extremely grateful for all the support we received. Thank you for helping make the event such a special and memorable occasion for everyone involved. 💜

During the River of Dreams Quilt Exhibition we like to draw attention to a group of people who help others in our community. This year we would like to acknowledge the people working with children in the Children's Grief Centre. We also make a charity quilt and raise some money to pass along. If you would like to help, watch out for patterns for blocks and colour suggestions we as a quilting community can make and turn into a quilt.
