“The sharing place is a small nonprofit where support is offered to children and their families that are grieving due to the death of a loved one. In most instances, it is the death of a parent or sibling. We believe that in sharing our innermost feelings we can better adjust to a life that is forever changed by a death or multiple deaths. We believe that this process of sharing our feelings and listening to others reduces the negative impact and self harming behaviors that unresolved grief can bring.
