Introducing - A PEEK INTO A GRIEVING HEART
The TEARS Foundation, Kenya, has been trying to break the silence associated with child loss grief among our communities (pregnancy loss, stillbirth & infants/children death). There is a silent rule that these are not losses worthy grieving or talking about: when you do, you should “move with speed” and “move on” as if nothing happened.
We know this silence coupled with societal attitudes has pushed families to dark pits. Siblings included. There is nothing as harmful as unacknowledged loss-unsupported/disenfranchised grief.
Let us have this conversation. We have many issues eating into the fabric of our society, this is one of them - unacknowledged loss-unsupported/disenfranchised grief.
We now have a forum, thought through since December 2019. It is time to bring it from the back burners.
Invited speakers will help us Peek Into A Grieving Heart after a child dies.
Bring all your families and friends to this virtual forum. When we are empowered we stop judging and we begin to help and seek help. There is healing, hope, and care when the griever and the communities are empowered. Our families and communities around us are our bedrock.
MAKE NOTE of the day and time is EAT
We begin the first session with Loss, Grief & Siblings on 3rd July 2020 from 2.30 pm to 3.15 pm. A Certified Child Life Specialist will be speaking.
