Ep 180: Helping Kids Manage Grief, Loss & Disappointment

Lynne Hughes lost both her parents by the age of 12. She recognized the lack of resources available to her as a grieving child, and into adult life realized child bereavement resources were still nonexistent. So, she took her love for summer camp and founded Comfort Zone Camp, the first-ever national 501(c)3 bereavement camp for grieving children and families. Since its inception in 1998, CZC has helped over 24,000 grieving children.

Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Lynne Hughes about managing grief.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
