Good Grief has been an incredible resource and support to many families in my community and surrounding ones in NJ. It brings families together who are experiencing loss. They provide support groups for the children and the surviving parent/caregiver that are facilitated by trained volunteers.They support children as young as age 3 thru young adults (18-30yr olds). The program brings the community together through various volunteer roles. Good Grief helps families to being the process of rebuilding their lives after their loss. My personal experience with the organization has been amazing. The staff is very dedicated and committed to supporting families at the most difficult time in their lives. They can also act as advocates for the children in their schools and activities as well. This is an area that has helped my family as 'it takes a village' to support a grieving child and we would have been lost without Good grief.
