This was such a blessing for my family and I. We lost my husband, their father very unexpectedly in a houston hospital. In the first days after his death, several people recommended Bos Place. It is a non- profit organization aimed at helping children and adults who are greiving,. They have different groups, separated by how the loss occured. (ie: long term illness, trauma, etc) then they separate the children into age groups so they can see and talk to people their own age going through the same kind of greif. It has been a blessing for my family. We were fortunate to have help right away, 2 weeks after my husbands death the group started. We have participated in potluck dinners before every session, the kids have fun in an eviroment where they can open up to other kids in a way that we mothers/fathers cant get them to do. I hope you will all look into this. Also, they count on their donations to keep the program going. It is helpful , but not necessary to participate. What a blessing for us all
