About Playful Mindset

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering a child feels when something or someone they love is taken away.

The pain of this loss can feel overwhelming, many children feel as if they've entered a fog, with feelings ranging from shock, anger, disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. Often, parents are experiencing their own grief and loss, so are unable to focus on the support needed for their children.

Our Outdoor Play Grief Support Groups provide a space where children and parents can process feelings of loss and grief through play, where they are held in connection, and can move from aloneness to a sense of togetherness. It's a space where children can play and feel a sense of normalcy as a child, in spite of the loss they are experiencing.
