As someone who is still learning how to process grief, even in my 40s, it can be so tough and overwhelming. So I canโt even imagine how difficult it is for children and young adults who experience loss. That is why Iโm so thankful for organizations like @ComfortZoneCamp.

Grief sucks โ especially in those moments when you werenโt expecting it and it shows up anyway. But it also keeps us connected to our loved ones whoโve already passed.
Tell us: How do you stay connected and honor the memory of your loved one(s)?

We had to adapt our services for grieving children during COVID and that was when we first introduced ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐!
Today, we have two annual weekend programs where parents like Nick are able to share their grief journey with other parents.

After experiencing a loss, many donโt feel like they can share their grief and story in most settings. Do ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ feel comfortable talking about your grief?

An amazing camp with @NFFF_News ๐
โค๏ธ It was filled with powerful moments, providing children with opportunities to process their grief.
โค๏ธ With NFFF, weโre making a meaningful difference in the lives of these resilient young campers by helping them along their journey.
Campers are headed to a special weekend-long @ComfortZoneCamp that gives kids a safe space to share with peers who have suffered a similar loss. Open to kids/siblings whose firefighter parent/sibling has been honored, or approved to be honored, at Fallen FFโs Memorial. #firehero
Weโre grateful for our long-standing collaboration with NFFF, an organization dedicated to honoring Americaโs fallen firefighters. They preserve the legacy of these heroes by sharing their stories and highlighting their impact on families, communities, and our nation.
Rise, shine, and get excited for camp this weekend ๐
