Wings of Hope
To assist children in better understanding and
copying with grief experiences and life reorganization, Mercy
Hospice offers Wings of Hope, a children's grief group that provides
loving support in a safe place where children, teens, and their
families can share their experience as they move through their
healing process.
Children ages 5 to 8 meet together for a 90-minute session every
other week. These children experience a talking circle time and
a time to express their thoughts and feelings through expressive
play.
Children ages 9 through 12 meet for a 90-minute session every
other week. These children join a talking circle and a time to
express grief through play and/or expressive art and play activities.
Teens age 13-18 meet for a 90-minute session every other week.
Teens may choose to talk with one another or express themselves
through art, movement or writing activities.
