Welcome to Bittersweet Place
A Center for Grieving Children & Their Families

Grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one for children as well as adults. Research and experience has shown that children’s grief centers like BitterSweet Place are a haven of support for grieving children, who otherwise find no support or appropriate outlet for their grief. A bereft parent can be too overcome with his/her own grief to be able to aid the stricken child, or simply does not know how to support their child. It is a common misperception that children are resilient and will quickly recover. Without appropriate support, grieving children are prone to develop emotional, social, behavioral, and academic problems.

It is this knowledge, and the knowledge that there are effective programs and support system to assist grieving children, that drive us to serve this population. Our goal is to lessen the potential damage created by loss and to assist families in building new and healthy lives.
