Grief is a natural reaction to a death, but it doesn’t always feel natural because it can be difficult to control the feelings, thoughts, and physical reactions that often happen after a loss. The death of someone important can cause teens to feel isolated, different from others, and as if there is no one that can understand what they are feeling. The Labyrinth retreat provides an opportunity for teens to get support from one another as they participate in creative, physical and musical activities, discuss their experiences with the group, and receive guidance from grief support professionals throughout the day.
