We Come Together As One: Helping Families Grieve, Share and Heal The Kate’s Club Way

By Lane Pease Hendricks, MS and Nancy L. Kriseman, LCSW

After the death of a parent, sibling, or caregiver, the life of a child or teen and their family is forever changed. Families face enormous challenges as they navigate life without that person.

We Come Together As One: Helping Families Grieve, Share and Heal The Kate’s Club Way is based on the authors' knowledge gained from working with the courageous families that are a part of a non-profit organization called Kate's Club. Since 2003 Kate's Club has provided creative and innovative programs to support grieving families. The "Kates' Club Way" believes in empowering children and teens as they move through their grief process so they can become more resilient and ultimately find ways to thrive.

This book provides suggestions and ideas so that adult caregivers have strategies and tools to best support their families. Plus, there are several chapters dedicated to helping adult caregivers cope with their own feelings about the death as they create a new life for themselves.
