The six-week, confidential support group is designed to help children and their parents understand and deal with feelings of grief from the death of a loved one. Trained, compassionate Akron Children's Hospital and community professionals lead age-appropriate activities while discussing relevant topics, including death, the funeral/memorial service, feelings and moving on. Support groups are divided by age (5-8, 9-12 and teens). Support time for parents is also offered while their children meet in groups. The series is free of charge and offers dinner at the beginning of each session. For more information or to register, call Akron Children's Hospital's Chaplaincy Services Department at 330-543-8254 or Palliative Care at 330-543-3343.
