Children entering foster care can carry a heavy suitcase of grief. Today, on National Grief Day, we acknowledge the profound situation and losses these brave children experience. 💔
Foster care always begins with a loss. Children grieve the separation from their birth parents, siblings, schools, and everything familiar. This grief doesn't always look like tears—it can show up as anger, confusion, or complete silence.
We believe looking after these children means creating a safe space for their sorrow. Foster and kinship families have to sit with them in their pain, validate their feelings, and remind them that they do not have to carry this heavy burden alone. 🫂
How you can help a grieving child today:
🤍 Be patient: Give foster families the grace and time they need to navigate tough emotional days.
🧸 Provide comfort: Support our mission to provide trauma-informed resources, Bibles, and comfort items for children in transition.
🫂Be their community: Find ways that you can support these families.
🙏 Pray for healing: Ask for peace, comfort, and emotional healing for foster youth and the families supporting them.
Grief takes time, but a supportive village makes all the difference. By reaching out to us, you have the opportunity to learn how you can rally around these families and children during these difficult times. 🥰
