Children’s Bereavement Library
The Children’s Bereavement Library is a special collection of literature and other helpful tools developed for children and families who have suffered a loss. These tools address the specific needs of children by explaining death and helping them to understand the common emotions associated with the grief journey. The library is currently available in Illinois, Michigan, and Delaware. This resource, like all Foundation programs, is provided free of charge and made possible by the consistent support of grateful patients and their families. Your contribution can help us to expand access to these and other valuable programs and services.
