A friend of mine has volunteered in the past at the Comfort Zone Camp . This camp is the nation’s largest bereavement camp and it is offered free of charge to children ages 7-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver.  What a wonderful way to give back…

There is a special on PBS tonite about grieving families. A hard but very important topic to talk about.

On April 14, 2010 at 8 p.m. EST/PT, When Families Grieve will launch with the national premiere of a one hour primetime television special on PBS, featuring Katie Couric and the Sesame Street Muppets.

The special will present families’ personal stories about coping with the death of a parent, including Casey Holstein, and his two daughters, Carli and Lia, who are Comfort Zone campers.

Immediately following the special, Sesame Workshop will begin the roll out of close to one million free multimedia kits to families and grief service providers nationwide. All materials will also be available online at sesamestreet.org/grief beginning April 15.
