The local organization helps people of all ages grieving the death of a loved one, or experience a life-changing medical diagnosis.
TUCSON, Ariz. — A local organization that helps families grieve is expanding, to be able to help more people.
They focus on group connections, being surrounded by people your own age, who are going through the same challenge. They offer group meetings with different age groups, from young kids, through adults."We just provide a space where, regardless of what they're experiencing, those emotions can be expressed in a healthy way," she said.
"In the state of Arizona, one in 11 children will grieve the death of either a parent or a sibling before they turn 18," Marks said."And so we know that there are many children in Pima County, let alone other counties in southern Arizona, that are grieving, and so we're trying to expand our services to really ensure that no child grieves alone. Grief can be isolating and it doesn't stop when those kids walk through the classroom doors.
"I think they come out with better coping skills," she said."More hope, they feel less isolated, less alone, and they just know that they can maintain that relationship with the person in their life who has died, but also have hope for their future as they move forward. It's not moving on and forgetting their special person, but it's moving forward, maintaining that bond with the person and knowing that they can have a future ahead of them.
