MARION, IL (KFVS) - The Hospice of Southern Illinois will be hosting "Making Connections," a free children's grief camp on April 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Presbyterian Church.

The hospice says since it began in 2004, the camp has been a beneficial experience for more than 200 children and adolescents, ages 5-17, of Southern Illinois who are grieving the loss of a friend or loved one.

According to the hospice, when a child loses someone they often experience secondary losses that are not always acknowledged in their lives. They might move away from a home, have to attend a new school, notice the empty chair at dinner and miss their confidante. “Making Connections” with others can be an empowering experience for a child who has already lost so much.
