Review for Mary's Place, Inc., Windsor, CT, USA
My first encounter with Mary’s Place was several years ago when I was a school nurse. I found Mary’s Place to be an invaluable resource for my students, their families, the school staff and myself. I knew at that time that I wanted to someday become more involved with the center. I started volunteering at Mary’s Place about 2 1/2 years ago as a volunteer group facilitator. My experience has been very rewarding and life changing. I have witnessed the power that sharing with others who understand can have for a grieving family. Mary’s Place is a warm and welcoming place where children can be themselves and express their grief. All who come through the doors are supported and comforted as they navigate their grief and adjust to their loss. It truly is a place of hope and healing. I feel privileged to be a part of Mary’s Place.
