Home Health & Hospice Care’s Good Grief Program received a wonderful boost last month with a generous donation of arts and crafts supplies from the Friends of Hudson Littles, a parent/caregiver support group based in Hudson. The Good Grief Program is a support group for children aged 4-13, who are grieving the death of an immediate family member. The program is led by Home Health & Hospice Care’s Child Bereavement Coordinator and the Good Grief Clinician, a qualified art therapist. Specially trained bereavement volunteers help facilitate each session occurring twice monthly during the academic year in Merrimack. The Good Grief Program also has a sister program, Teen Topics, for high school aged children, occurring once monthly on Sunday afternoons. Both groups are currently accepting registration for fall 2018.

The Friends of Hudson Littles group was established on Facebook in 2016 by Jennifer Ceballos, as a way to connect with other parents and caregivers in the Hudson area and now has more than 200 members. Their goal is to support the community with regular fundraising for local groups and charities. Their donation was delivered by founder, Jennifer Ceballos; co-founder Megan Drury; member, Meghan Stavro and some of their children. They always welcome new members in their efforts to support each other, their children and the community of Hudson and neighboring areas. If you are interested in Friends of Hudson Littles, you may message their private Facebook page for more information.
