"Here for Each Other" Campaign
We are excited to launch our 2024 Children's Grief Awareness Day theme, "Here for Each Other," highlighting the importance of coming together as a community to support those who are grieving.
Experiencing the loss of someone special is overwhelming. Going through the experience alone makes it that much more difficult. Whether we ourselves are grieving, or we know someone else who is going through these tough times, we need to remember that we are
HERE FOR EACH OTHER!
Sharing our journey brings us together and can help to lighten the load.
This set of three posters reminds us that we are Here For Each Other, in the good times, and in the hard times.

"Pause" to Grieve Campaign
When someone important to us dies, no matter how much we'd like everything to get back to normal, life doesn't just keep moving along as if nothing happened. It's important to pay attention to what we're experiencing, and to take care of ourselves while we're healing. It's important to PAUSE, to take a break, to stop what we're doing for a moment (or for a longer time).
We need to PAUSE to feel our feelings, and to grieve our loss. We need to PAUSE to bring our person to mind, and to continue that relationship in our hearts. And for those of us who know someone else who is grieving, it's just as important for us to PAUSE our lives for a time in order to support our grieving friend.
This set of three posters is available to remind us to do just that.
Take the time you need to feel your feelings.
Pause your own activities for a little while so you can support a friend who is grieving.
Take a break and remember your person who died.
"Because Grief" Campaign
Many questions arise about feelings and actions that arise after the death of someone important. We wonder "Why?" about many things. This series of six posters illustrates the theme of Children's Grief Awareness Day in 2022, which is that many of the feelings and actions have a similar root cause they happen Because Grief.
"It's OK To Not Be OK" Campaign
The main poster in the series of six, this poster states the theme of Children's Grief Awareness Day in 2021.
After a death, it's very common to feel fear. And that's OK, as this poster expresses.
Many people feel sadness as part of their grief. This feeling, like any other, is OK, as expressed in this poster.
Continuing the series, this poster lets people know it's not wrong to be happy even after someone special has died.
Anger is also a common reaction after someone important dies. This poster validates anger, like the other feelings in the series.
Sometimes after the death of someone important, it may feel like a betrayal of them to feel hope. But that feeling, like the rest, is OK too.
