If you are wondering how to deal with the emotions of a grieving child, you are not alone. That's why St. Peter's Hospital in Helena is holding a workshop geared toward helping children who have experienced a loss.

Orlinda Worthington, Public Relations Coordinator for St. Peter's Hospital, explains, "Often times, parents and caregivers feel at a loss as to how to best support the young people who are grieving, so this talk will gives them some practical ideas and expertise on what to expect from grieving children at different ages, how to provide safe outlets for kids to express their thoughts and feelings, and how to support them through a death in the family system."

The "Young Grieving Hearts" workshop is being presented by the Hospice of St. Peter's bereavement team, and it takes place Wednesday, November 4th, from 7-8 p.m. in the Education Center of St. Peter's Hospital in Helena. The workshop is free and all are welcome to attend.
