"Much like a butterfly, the struggles of children and teens in grief often go unnoticed" ~Maya Angelou

Children and teens with unaddressed grief are especially at risk for adverse behavioral and health struggles. When a child or teen experiences the death of a family member or close friend, it can rattle them to their core, leaving them shaken, their future uncertain. Often they feel disconnected from family and friends, as if they’re no longer ‘normal’, leaving them feeling set apart and misunderstood. 

Last year, 49% of students who participated in COJ school-based support groups had experienced the death of a parent, and 58% had suffered the death of an immediate family member (parent or sibling).

The Need is Great.  This is where YOU and I come in.

Through OUR generous support of Companions on a Journey, we can provide bereaved children, teens and adults with a safe space to process feelings of grief and loss, connect with a caring community of peers, and strengthen critical wellness and resiliency skills. Our support allows COJ to help each person navigate their grief journey; discovering their new normal as they move forward.

Join me TODAY by donating in honor of my mamaw, Sandy Agee. I love and miss her more every day. Thank You for helping me give back to COJ - they mean the world to me and so do you!
