Program allows foster children to address their grief

Children who are in foster care come with a full set of grief issues. Some people might not think about a foster child as having grief issues per se, but think about all that he or she has lost: parents, home, neighborhood, school, friends, familiar surroundings. He or she has also lost specific things like a favorite toy, a pillow case, a swing set. As children, we identify very closely with the people and things around us. Imagine having all that taken away in a matter of minutes.
