The cruise offers a healing opportunity for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, no matter how much time has passed.
The bereavement cruise will provide an opportunity for our guests to better understand their grief journey, receive compassionate support and enhance their coping skills. Our workshops and activities will take place on the days that we are out to sea. There will be plenty of time to relax, spend time with others and share meals with new friends and much more. Participants will also have time to explore off ship excursions. You choose how you spend your time with us.
The Bereavement Cruise is a powerful transformational journey at sea honoring and celebrating the lives of our lost loved ones. It is an opportunity to experience an inspiring continuation of healing that will be shared in a nurturing community of people who are or have been where you are in your grief journey-no matter how much time has passed.

KID’S GRIEF CAMP

Posted in Grief Resources, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Kids Camp offered through Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation

Do you know a child who is grieving due to a recent loss?   We still have openings for our Kid’s Camp sponsored by Crossroads Hospice Charitable Foundation!   Our camp is overseen by credentialed and licensed Clinical and Master’s level Social Worker and Psychology staff.  Our camp staff and volunteers are highly trained and specialize in grief and loss.    Kid’s Camp has designed fun, interactive activities for the children, age 6 to 12, to bond and share, play and gain tools to help them with their grief.

For some reason I couldn’t get the link to copy…so please go to the following website for more information. Sorry!

https://crhcf.org/Crossroads-Kids/

A place for grieving children to connect.

We envision a community that honors the validity of child and family grief by facilitating the healing process.

It is estimated by the Children’s Grief Association that each year 4.8 million children in the U.S. experience the death of one or both parents.

This overwhelming number does not include children who will lose a grandparent, sibling, or other significant person in their lives.

Sadly, children’s emotional needs are often overlooked as they try and navigate their world after loss. They find that their friends cannot relate and often the significant adults in their lives are consumed by their own grief. This isolation can lead to withdrawal, anger, acting out, aggression, and other issues.

Crossroads Kids is a 3-day, 2-night camp held at various locations throughout the country and is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 12.

By incorporating therapeutic activities into a fun camping experience, Crossroads Kids allows children to connect with peers who are also experiencing grief. It is a time for attendees to share their experiences in a safe place while developing coping skills to take with them when they leave.

Two sessions are run by bereavement specialists sharing best bereavement practices with the parents/significant adults of the Crossroads Kids.

By involving their families, we are able to help the parents process their own feelings in addition to their children’s. This model encourages openness and honesty, ultimately promoting an effective healing process and strengthening the family unit.

In order to achieve our vision, we maintain a 1:2 ratio of staff to campers to ensure ample supervision and support.

All therapeutic groups are overseen by credentialed, master’s level social work and psychology staff.

<!–

Beginning September 1, 2015, licensed therapists will speak to parents,
school counselors, and other health care providers for child placement in Crossroads Kids Camp.

–>

If you know a grieving child that could benefit from Crossroads Kids Camps in 2016 — or benefit from other available children’s grief programs — email us, or contact Meredith Lawler, LCSW, Director of Outreach Programs. 2016 camp dates and locations coming soon.

MOURNER’S BILL OF RIGHTS

Posted in Grief Resources, Shared Stories, tagged , , , , , , , on February 28, 2016| 2 Comments »

stock-photo-46786344-woman-at-cemetery[1]Top 10 Rights for anyone grieving:

  1. You have the right to experience your own unique grief.
  2. You have the right to talk about your grief.
  3. You have the right to feel a multitude of emotions.

See more…..

For anyone who is going through grief, it’s an individual experience. Each person, who is grieving, has a set of rights. If others can understand this, and allow the griever these rights, they can move along in their grief healthier and possibly sooner than if they are prevented from experiencing these rights.

Check out the “Mourner’s Bill of Rights” from grief expert, Dr. Alan Wolfelt. This was posted from a blogger friend who has a fantastic website Heartache To Healing, from JoAnne Funch. JoAnne’s website  offers, “Compassionate Grief Support to Heal Your Heart and Soul”. She has many guest bloggers who offer HOPE and INSPIRATION

People who are grieving need to know that they’re not going crazy but have their own “rights” to allow them the freedom to grieve however they need to!

WHO WILL WALK MY BABY DOWN THE AISLE?

Posted in Shared Stories, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 26, 2015| Leave a Comment »

I hadn’t thought about it until my daughter was engaged and the wedding plans began. Then it occurred to me one day, “I should be the one to walk my baby down the aisle. I spent the most time raising her!”

All my sweat and tears, for 14 years as a young widow, doing the best I could for my daughter. I was so proud of her, not to mention how much I loved her. I was honored to walk my precious daughter down the aisle and give her away to the man of her dreams. It was so beautiful and bittersweet!!

Down the aisle

WIDOWS RETREAT AND BLESSING FUND

Posted in Grief Resources, tagged , , , , , , , , on April 28, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Blessing[1]Are you feeling overwhelmed being a WIDOW? There are many retreats and conferences to help, encourage and support widows in their grief. I attended a conference last November through, A New Season Ministries. I highly recommend going to one if you can. It helps to know that you are not alone. Widowhood is similar to a journey that many of your friends and family may find it hard to understand. You may have a hard time understanding this grief journey as well. But it can be easier if you connect with other widows that understand what you’re going through.

A New Season Ministries has started a Blessing Fund for those that are struggling financially and want to attend the retreats. Please visit A New Season’s Blessing Fund on this blog.

Know that when you are strong again, you will then have the resources to repay this favor, whether it will be giving back to the fund or having time to minister to other widows.

God Bless You with His Peace and Blessings!
