Youth Share their Experience with Grief
Youth share their experiences of living with a loved one who is ill, becoming a young carer, and coping with grief.
They give advice for those in similar situations.
WATCH THEIR STORIES:
At Heart House Hospice, the Help Us Understand Grief (H.U.U.G.) program offers in-home visits to support children and youth (up to the age of 18) who are living with the dying or death of a family member.
