Oxford Church Holds Grief Program for Children Who Have Lost Loved Ones

From St. Thomas the Apostle Church: Children are often forgotten during the grieving process even though they too experience grief and often do not know how to react to their feelings.

Grieving children have unique needs depending upon their developmental age and experiences with loss. Is your child grieving the loss of someone dear to them? Do you anticipate a loss or want to prepare a child for such an eventuality?

The Bereavement Ministry of St. Thomas the Apostle Church will be conducting an educational program to help adults understand a child’s grief and how to satisfy their needs as they grieve the loss of a loved one. This program, to be held in the Church Hall, located at 733 Oxford Road, Oxford, CT on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 from 6:30 to 9:00PM, is open to all interested adults and is free of charge.

A panel of professionals, including Richard H. Grayson, PhD, a Pediatric Neuropsychologist, and Paula C. Grayson, PsyD, a Clinical Psychologist, will present resources and information on how adults can best meet the needs of grieving children. Also present, will be Brittaney Miller-Cadmus from Adam’s House in Shelton. The panel members will be available for questions after the presentation.

If interested, please contact Maryjane at 203-888-2311, ext 121 for questions and to register for the program.
