The Cove Center for Grieving Children

As Nickelodeon nears its 50th birthday—yes, 50!—it continues to evolve, demonstrating a steadfast dedication to kids by staying true to its belief that “all kids deserve to be seen, heard, empowered, and informed.” Nickelodeon’s amazing staff wore blue to raise awareness for hashtag #ChildrensGriefAwarenessMonth. Today, as we honor Children's Grief Awareness Day, the team working with Allison Gamber, NCED at The Cove Center for Grieving Children believes that when a child or teen experiences the loss of a loved one, it’s the time they need to be seen, heard, and supported the most. Through peer support groups, professional facilitation, and meaningful coping strategies, The Cove provides hope and healing for grieving families—empowering them to honor the memory of their loved ones and build resilience for the road ahead. Why November? The holiday season is an especially challenging time for those grieving, making it a poignant moment to bring visibility to their struggles and ensure they’re surrounded by care and compassion. That is why we all should be incredibly grateful to our friends at Nickelodeon for bridging the gap between their fun-loving, lighthearted programming and the very real challenges facing grieving children during this time. By donning their brightest blue, they’re sending smiles and hope to the tens of thousands of young people navigating this difficult season. Together, we can ensure that no child grieves alone. ?? #ChildrensGriefAwarenessMonth #TheCoveCares #Nickelodeon #KidsDeserveTheBest #HopeAndHealing #PeerSupport #GriefSupport

The Cove is honored to receive feedback from the grieving families we help. One Camp Compassion camper wrote, “I was able to feel sad about losing my dad around other kids without it feeling weird or people feeling bad for me because we all share a loss.” This sense of community is a feeling we hope to foster in all our programs.
