11/21: Kids & Teens Box & Breathe Event

In recognition of Children’s Grief Awareness Month, Gloves for Grief is partnering with Lemons to Lemonade for a special Kids & Teens Box & Breathe Event!

Did you know 1 in 11 children will lose a parent or sibling before the age of 18? And that number doesn’t even account for the loss of other close family members, friends, or beloved pets. Maybe you have a child who has experienced the loss of someone they love, or perhaps you know a family who has.

Children grieve too, but their grief doesn’t always look like ours. It can be quiet, show up in unexpected ways, or get overshadowed by the grief of parents and other family members. But just because children aren’t talking about it doesn’t mean they aren’t feeling it.

That’s why we are creating a space just for them!
