C.S. Lewis wrote, "Grief is like a long valley." Children's grief is unique and encompasses many natural reactions. Canary Garden provides group support through interaction with peers, trained volunteers, and professionals. Family members have opportunities to acknowledge their grief and to continue their lives in a hopeful and confident manner.
Dr. Lee Hansen, a professor emeritus at Brigham Young University's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a long time supporter of the organization, recently established an endowment to help ensure that children in the Utah County area continue to have access to grief support. “We need to make sure that the Canary Garden has the resources it needs to grow and be here for the long term. We can all play a part in making sure that children suffering from the loss of someone important in their lives have a place to heal.”
