Parent/Adult Comments
"I think it is critical to have a program for children who have lost a parent to be with other children who know and understand what they are going through. It is a blessing to have The Sharing Place. It would be a great loss not to have this for an out for teens. If it could help one child then it is worth its weight in gold." -- C.H.
"Me and my children have had a bad year trying to cope with the death of my wife, their mother. The Sharing Place has helped my son and me greatly. We can go talk to people who are going through the same or similar feelings. I would be in a lot worse shape dealing with my son without The Sharing Place." -- S.J.
"This group has given my daughter the opportunity to relate and talk with other teens that have and are going through the same thing as her. It's helped her see she is not alone. She enjoys the group very much. Thank You." -- Dad
"As an adult facilitator working with both teen groups, I am able to see that these groups are greatly needed by the adults as well as teens. To see adults come to The Sharing Place with overwhelming grief is heart-wrenching. Then to see these same adults help newcomers through their new raw grief is heartwarming. To see the healing and support each time we meet is so affirming that there really is life after death." -- B.T.
