OUR 2020 REPORT From the Heart TO THE COMMUNITY

FALL/WINTER 2020 Welcome

Mission

The Center for Grieving Children provides a safe space, loving peer support, outreach, and education to grieving children, teens, families and the community.

Vision

The Center for Grieving Children offers hope and supports the resilience of children, teens, and families through a peer support family model. Its no-cost services are led by dedicated and highly trained staff and volunteers on-site at the Center’s facilities thanks to the generous support of our community. A Letter From Anne

I HIPAA-compliant online option for our groups to meet am forever grateful for the trust of our families and the virtually. As a result, I am thrilled to share that we have philanthropic support of our larger community as the need continued providing our three pillars of programing and this year is greater than ever before. We will get through this outreach to the greater Maine community by temporarily together and stronger. moving groups to a virtual platform until it is safe for us to return to in-person. With Gratitude,

The Center continues to be the ONLY of its kind in Maine - Anne Heros providing year-round peer support in a family model in our Executive Director Tender Living Care (TLC) and Bereavement Programs, as studies show that the better parents cope, the better children do. We continue our wonderful partnership with Portland Public Schools to ensure the success of our Intercultural Program as well.

The demand for the Center’s bereavement services only continues to escalate. Prior to Covid-19, waiting lists existed for families to join when space opened. Since launching virtually, our peer support groups continue to have new requests to join weekly. We have added extra groups to help meet families’ needs. We cannot forget that things are still happening that wreak heartbreak in our community. There is still death by suicide, there is still a high incidence of overdose loss, there is still grief. There are still families trying to grow from their loss; to experience “post-traumatic growth”— that despite experiencing a shattering reality, they entertain the possibility of something new and meaningful evolving from it. This pandemic is yet another layer, upon which this is going to be an extra struggle. Our families are stretched now more than ever. The isolation that we are all experiencing can be even more challenging for our grieving children, teens, and families.

There is one thing I wish you to know right now. Our hearts Anne Heros are with you. I have heard from our Center families whom have shared their longing to resume their time within our four Executive Director walls. We are doing everything to make this our priority. To determine how we can keep our families safe, we are taking a hard look at our physical space and will need to redefine the way children do play in our groups.

While I know that many of us find ourselves anxious and frightened, confronted with unanticipated challenges, we are committed to providing the same level of service to grieving families. I am hopeful that the challenges presented during these unprecedented times may present new opportunities for the Center to innovate to reach new families who otherwise Resilience: belonging. support. hopefulness.

Overview

Little did we know that early March was pivotal in the Center’s history. Like many organizations, we closed our doors for what we thought would be two weeks to determine how we could reopen safely to restart in-person peer support groups. Today, while our staff is still working remotely, our doors are far from closed.

Since March, the intense situation of COVID-19 has led to a community-wide mourning. Perhaps we are grieving the loss of a loved one or maybe we are experiencing grief associated with our collective search for normalcy. Since the onset, many families experienced a loved one’s suffering in the hospital, yet were not able to be with them. Countless young people anticipated their final stretch of senior year and the anticipated rights of passage that come with it such as prom and graduation ceremonies; all missed. People’s loved ones died at a time that funerals were either not possible or drastically limited. So right now, the community mourns. Here at the Center, we are doing all we can to support and acknowledge that grief and the Center community. An individual’s mental health is prime for a healthy community. Our Response to Covid-19 Our program team has worked tirelessly to transform how our Center operates to continue meeting the needs of families and children during these uncertain times. We have maintained regular, ongoing engagement with our facilitators and families, reaching out through email and calls. We have never stopped responding to new requests for support, referrals, and general grief and loss related information from the community by email and phone. We have also developed a section of our website dedicated to Covid-19 resources. We have now launched our full schedule of services with facilitators and families online, serving all children, parents, and adults who wished to utilize online groups. Groups are still broken out age-appropriately for children 3-18 to tailor groups to particular ages and levels of desired participation, and for their parents/caregivers, young adults 19-30, and people who have lost a partner or spouse. The response from facilitators and families has been very positive as we all adjusted to this new way of communicating.

Everything is happening at a distance which is so... it seems so unnatural as human beings. We're geared for touch. We're geared for being close to each other and community.

As a school social worker in a school with many immigrant, refugee, and asylum seeking students, I highly value the partnership with the Center for Grieving Children. The Center for Grieving Children Intercultural groups and staff provided kind and culturally-responsive support and interventions during the pandemic akin to the support they provide during the school year. Knowing they were there as a resource for questions and support as well as knowing they were reaching out to families and continuing groups online to students who were able to access them from home, helped me feel like I was not alone in working to support the social and emotional needs of some of our more vulnerable students and families.

-Sarah Beam, LCSW, School Social Worker -Sarah Beam, LCSW, School Social Worker Bereavement

Overview

Providing grief support in our Portland and Sanford locations for children, teens, their parents, families, and bereaved parents and widows/widowers/partners.

We lost my son’s father unexpectedly.

On our first night at the Center, I was overwhelmed with the love and support that I instantly felt. The tears came because I knew I was in the right place. I felt comforted. For the first time since his death, I didn’t feel alone.

It's hard to describe how the Center’s programs work other than they’re magic. Yes, there are lots of tears at the Center. But most importantly, there is love, laughter, and support. New families will come and go. We lost our loves to cancer, suicide, drugs, disease, accidents, etc., but we all had one thing in common: grief and the love for our children. I’ve learned that there is nothing to “fix” here. Grief is a process you go through. You learn to hold your grief and honor it. Our time at the Center has truly changed our lives.

- Shannon Moore, Former Bereavement Program Participant and current member of the Center’s Development Committee The Heart Of Our Mission

After my husband Kevin passed away, the Center for Grieving Children has been another piece of this complicated journey toward healing for my daughters and me.

I first wanted to be a part of the Center’s Bereavement Program for my two daughters. To complicate the grief they were experiencing from losing their father, Covid-19 has made this ordeal significantly more isolating and challenging. Losing social interaction amongst peers as a result of schools closing was another significant loss my daughters had to mourn. While everyone brings very individual and unique experiences to the group, sharing their losses with other children who can sympathize was huge for my daughters.

Little did I know that I could partake in my own group too. Having to say very little, they understand. I did not realize just how much the Center would touch our lives. The volunteers and participants welcomed us with the understanding and comfort only those who have lost a parent or spouse would understand.

- Jessica Welsh, Current Sanford Bereavement Program Participant Tender Living Care Program

Overview

Helping children, teens, young adults, parents, and caregivers with the changes that come with a family member’s diagnosis of serious illness. Support is available from point of diagnosis and at every step along their journey with the illness.

I learned about the Center as a nursing student. After graduating, I volunteered at the Center for a couple of years and learned so much about myself and the incredible support the Center offered for families.

It never occurred to me that almost 20 years later, I’d be diagnosed with a chronic, painful, physically debilitating illness. Being led back to the Center as part of their Tender Living Care program has been an incredible journey. It is so empowering to have a group of friends that have a unique perspective similar to our journey. There are times of joy and times of emotional and physical pain. There have been friends that have died as a result of their chronic illness or experienced remission, enabling them to take time away from the Center. My children have grown and been supported as they continue to deal with my medical journey. It has given them a safe space to share their feelings, while having the opportunity to support other kids dealing with similar situations. My husband has a group of other Dads and caregivers to share fears and joys with. But always, it’s a safe space to share the day to day journey.

The Center has come to be a very special place in my heart. Not just for the opportunity to sit on “both sides of the couch”, so to speak, but for the growth that the facilitators have supported in our family, during this journey. There is something truly indescribable about what kind of hope the Center inspires and passes to everyone that passes through its doors. It gives us something to look forward to, to hope for, to dream about, all while on a journey no one really envisions when they think of family.

- The Murphy Family, TLC Participants For Families Facing Life-impacting Illness

Welcome Moose!

During the year, the Center integrated a certified therapy dog named Moose, into our Tender Living Care (TLC) peer support programming. The dog’s owner, Carolyn Lane, was already a trained Center volunteer facilitator.

It is such an honor to participate in the powerful connection between Moose and the families at the Center. In this trusted space, Moose is a catalyst for children to explore a wide range of verbal and non-verbal expression. We especially like to delve into what is similar or different in the ways we all express feelings - even Moose!

As children and adults alike interact with Moose, we emotionally connect more deeply to the other special animals in our lives. Children relay stories of their own pet(s), a grandparent’s pet or even a dog in the neighborhood. They enjoy being the expert on that relationship with what it means to them as both a companion and a caregiver. Moose is a reminder of our special bond to our pets and how to strengthen that bond for our mutual wellness.

- Carolyn Lane, Volunteer Facilitator, Moose’s Owner

As the time with Moose concluded, children and families shared the impact Moose had in their groups by creating a book of letters (an exam- ple to the right) sharing their experience with Moose. One of our facilitators summed it up best; “It was magic.” Moose was a catalyst for families to share their value of pets and open up as they process their own feelings of grief. Intercultural Program Overview

Creating healing communities, the Center’s Intercultural Program is for children and teens resettled in Maine from countries that have experienced war, violent conflict, and natural disaster, in collaboration with Portland Public schools and others. At 23 years old, this program is the oldest of its kind in the United States.

Grief is your own journey, and there’s no right or wrong way. What we saw in our Intercultural Program was deep isolation. Grief happens differently in different cultures. However, when you feel a sense of belonging and connectedness, and you are with other people who have experienced loss, then the healing naturally happens.

- Marie Sheffield, Intercultural Peer Support Program and Training Specialist

I moved over from Vietnam when I was 2. I would always feel like my classmates think of me as an alien and that no one liked me. The Center is there for me to share those thoughts and feelings, relieving that stress.

- Jimmy Nguyen, Intercultural Program Participant

During Covid-19, our collaboration with the Center was more than helpful. The Intercultural Program Team’s willingness and persistence in contacting and connecting with our students was great. Many of those particular students were having trouble connecting with teachers and the remote learning model, and the Center’s support and contact made a huge difference in a positive way. I am so grateful for their work during this period, their willingness to connect and the quality of your connection with these students AND their families.

- Jane Hubley, LCSW, School Social Worker Love Is In Our Hearts Our Poem By: The Intercultural Program Facilitators

Everything unfolds as it is meant to be. Our hearts are full of admiration and respect. Through the chaos, the circle remains And the circle continues to expand. Holding the space for all And the circle will continue to expand outward. Rooted, connected, unbroken, ever growing, Including us, our communities, humanity, and the sun and stars, We have grown together. Our circle is a safe space. What we do is relational, not transactional. Love is in our hearts. Outreach to Our Community Overview

Providing services and resources to both individuals and groups to help them support grieving children and teens in the places where they live, learn, and play, the Center provides community support through webinars, phone and email consults, and outreach and education to local schools, businesses, and non-profits, including providing general grief education, support, and referrals when a student, staff member, or community member has died.

I found out at 7:30 at night and was just kind of in shock, and immediately had to figure out what we were going to do the next day. We immediately called the Center for Grieving Children. When something like this happens, I think it’s great to have that resource there because it helped guide us through the process.

- Dominic DePatsy, Superintendent Saco Public Schools

How were we going to face our kids when we were so broken ourselves? How do we go on now? When the kids are here tomorrow, how do we address that and still be sad at the same time? We needed somebody to come in and say ‘Ok, let’s acknowledge what happened here, and then we’re going to help you to take the first steps in the direction of healing.‘

The support that we got from the Center helped us get to the point where we are now. We can look back and smile and remember her for all the good she brought to the building.

Resources

In this past year, thanks to side•sea and Storm Warriors, we revamped our website so visitors have a better user experience. The Center’s website serves as the first step to articles, activities, book suggestions, and links to websites that provide online grief support as well as a searchable database of Maine resources. Center publications are also available online including booklets for schools and parents on supporting grieving children and teens. During Covid-19, we developed a separate section of our website to provide resources pertinent during this uncertain time for families, school administrators and children. www.cgcmaine.org

 https://www.instagram.com/cgcmaine/ https://www.facebook.com/cgcmaine  https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-center-for-grieving-children/ Volunteers Overview

Volunteers are the heart of the Center. From serving as peer facilitators, or Board and Committee members, to helping with administrative tasks, events, or even tending to our garden, our programs would not be possible without them.

I volunteer at the Center to give children a space to approach and express their full range of emotions. When the dominant culture in America tells us to steel ourselves, tamp down our feelings, and get over it, providing an alternative narrative, building emotional capacity, and giving permission to feel is so important, especially for grieving children. Unfortunately, spaces like the Center are few and far between, which makes our work that much more imperative and purposeful.

- Matthew Gee, - Megan Arsenault, Portland Bereavement Program Facilitator Sanford Bereavement and Portland Intercultural Program Facilitator/MSW intern

About a year after my mom died, my counselor asked me if there was some type of volunteer work I was interested in as this could help with my free time since her death. I immediately thought of the Center and the rest is history. I love the Center and feel like I get much more than I give. I have learned so much and love my co-facilitators and staff on Monday night. The families are amazing and I am in awe of their strength, courage, love for their family and support for each other. The Center is a magical place and I am so proud to be a part of it for the 14 years I have been.

- Cathy Paglio, Tender Living Care Program Facilitator The Heart of The Center

I always told myself that when I retired, I would do volunteer work. I never had the time when I was working. My former boss was on the Center’s board, and I also knew Bill Hemmens, who founded the Center. From the first day I walked into the office, I have felt like I found another home. What a wonderful group of people. I know from answering the phone, what a difference we make in families' lives.

- Anne Foster, Office Volunteer

Since mid-March we have been frequenting the “secret garden”, as Evangeline calls it, and decided we wanted to give back since it was a nice outlet during strange times. We visit the garden on a regular basis and take note of what is in bloom! It’s still our spot to go together, just the 2 of us.

- Our Woodfords Corner neighbors, Vonnett and Evangeline

Serving a year of AmeriCorps at the Center in the Intercultural Program was a great decision. I was able to grow, both professionally and personally. I learned many skills and I now feel confident to walk into a room, evaluate what is happening, and make a decision to help the situation. I made exceptional connections with the volunteers, staff, and children which resulted in creating many special memories that I will hold close to my heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve at the Center and to have worked alongside many people who supported and believed in me, which in turn allowed me to grow my people skills, leadership skills, and self-confidence.

- Monicah Paquette, Intercultural Program Coordinator; AmeriCorps Volunteer

Being a facilitator for the Intercultural Program at the Center has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I have so enjoyed my 3 years as a facilitator that I can't imagine not returning each school year. I cherish getting to know the kids and building relationships with them. They all have such unique personalities and life experiences, and they teach me more than I could have ever imagined! I am always telling people that I'm not sure who gets more out of it- me or the children! I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my community through the Center, and hope that every child who leaves the program each year walks away with not only great memories, but a deeper confidence in themselves.

I have always supported the Center given its importance in our community. But I had no idea what a significant role they actually filled until my family faced the sudden passing of my 16-year-old son, Shane. The Centers’ staff and resources were there immediately to help my children navigate the emotions of losing their brother, and supported me and my family, as we grieved. They provided all of us a safe place to express our deep feelings of loss. Our journey started more than five years ago and we remain connected and committed to the Center, its people and its mission.

- Kim Donnelly SVP, Director of Business Banking Gorham Savings Bank Former Family Member
