Welcome to Good Grief Group and Camp
Offering quality bereavement services and events for those in Montana suffering from loss.

We are devoted to supporting individuals through the expression and healing of grief since 2014. Good Grief Camp is for children ages 6-12 years old who have lost a loved one. At camp the kids get to meet other kids who understand what they have gone through. Through out camp the kids have the opportunity to "get their feelings out" while memorializing their loved one through a variety of fun therapeutic actives.

You can't always see someone's grief.

A child who is laughing, playing, and having fun might still be missing someone deeply.

Grief doesn't always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like anger, silence, extra questions, difficulty concentrating, or simply needing a little more reassurance.

That's why patience and connection matter so much.

We may not always know what a grieving child is feeling, but we can remind them that we're here to listen, that their feelings matter, and that they don't have to go through it alone.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer is a safe place to be exactly who they are.

Healing happens through connection.

One of the hardest parts of childhood grief can be feeling different from everyone else.

Sometimes, a child just wants to meet someone who understands what it's like to miss a person they love. Someone who understands that grief can show up in unexpected moments. Someone who knows that it's okay to laugh, play, and still feel sad.

That's why Good Grief Group creates opportunities for grieving children and families to connect, build friendships, and find support.

Through our free grief camps and family resources, we want every child to know one important thing:

You are not alone.

Thank you to our volunteers, donors, and community supporters who help make these connections possible. We couldn't do this without you! 💙

It's okay to miss someone and still make new memories.

As we move into the holiday season, families who are grieving may find themselves navigating a mix of emotions.

Traditions might feel different. An empty chair may be especially noticeable. A favorite activity might bring both smiles and tears.

There's no single right way to move through these moments.

For families supporting a grieving child, consider giving them choices: Would they like to keep a tradition, create a new one, talk about the person they miss, or take a break?

Small moments of understanding can make a big difference.

At Good Grief Group, we believe there is room for both grief and joy. 💙

Sometimes the most healing thing is knowing someone else understands. 💙

That’s one of the most powerful parts of Good Grief Tween Camp.

Our campers come together carrying their own stories of loss, but they quickly discover something they have in common: they’re not the only ones.

They can talk about the person they miss.
They can share stories.
They can laugh without feeling guilty.
They can make friends who understand a part of their life that can be difficult to explain to others.

Healing happens through connection.

We can’t wait to welcome our Tween Campers TOMORROW October 16–18! 💙

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. 💙

For children and teens, grief can show up in ways that adults may not expect.

One day they may want to talk about the person who died. The next day they may want to play, laugh, or not talk about it at all.

That doesn’t mean they’ve stopped grieving.

Grief can come and go. It can change as children grow. And sometimes a child may not even have the words to explain what they’re feeling.

One of the most important things we can do is simply give them space, listen, and remind them that whatever they’re feeling is okay.

There is no right way to grieve. 💙

A child should never have to feel alone in their grief. 💙

When a child loses someone they love, their world can suddenly feel very different.

Friends may not know what to say. Adults may not always understand what they need. And sometimes, it can feel like no one else could possibly understand.

That’s why Good Grief Group exists.

We create spaces where grieving children can meet others who have experienced loss, build friendships, learn healthy ways to cope, and discover that they don’t have to walk through grief by themselves.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these connections possible — our volunteers, donors, community partners, and families.

Together, we’re helping grieving children know: You are not alone. 💙

Tween Camp is almost here! 💙

October 16–18, we’ll be welcoming a group of amazing tweens for a weekend filled with connection, friendship, fun, and space to talk about grief.

For kids who have experienced the death of someone they love, finding other kids who get it can make such a difference.

At Good Grief Tween Camp, campers have the chance to:
• Connect with peers who understand
• Talk about their grief in a safe environment
• Learn healthy coping skills
• Make new friends
• Laugh, play, and just be kids

We’re so excited to see our campers and create another weekend where they can feel understood, supported, and not alone.

Two weeks until Tween Camp! 💙

A little reminder for kids who are grieving: 💙

You don’t have to feel sad all the time to miss someone you love.

It’s okay to laugh.
It’s okay to play.
It’s okay to have a good day.
It’s okay to feel happy and still miss the person who died.

Grief isn’t the same every day — and there is no “right” way to grieve.

Sometimes healing looks like talking about your person. Sometimes it looks like laughing with a friend. Sometimes it looks like having a day where you don’t think about grief at all.

All of those things are okay.

At Good Grief Group, we believe children deserve space for all of it. 💙

Tween Camp is just FOUR weeks away!

There’s something pretty special about being surrounded by other kids who get it.

At Good Grief Tween Camp, campers have the opportunity to connect with peers who have also experienced the death of someone they love. They get to talk, laugh, create, play, and simply be themselves in a space where they don’t have to explain their grief.

Because grief can feel lonely — especially for kids.

Our goal is to remind every camper that they are not alone.

We’re getting everything ready and can’t wait to welcome our Tween Campers!
