Seeds of Love

 

Helpful Tip...
Grief after parent loss is a natural and healthy reaction. Children and teens need support not counseling or advice. Support means to strengthen. When you listen to what young people are feeling and thinking, they feel supported. And that strengthens them. LISTEN. LISTEN. LISTEN.
