The Family Guidance and Bereavement Program is honored to relaunch our Connections newsletter. In this issue we focus on navigating grief during the holidays. We also present an article by a mother sharing her grief journey and a recap of our Annual Day of Remembrance.
In this issue of Connections, we feature an article written by Patricia Lozano about what has contributed to her healing after the loss of her baby. We also present a beautiful poem written by a mother describing the myriad of ways she remembers her daughter.
This issue of Connections focuses on the changing nature of grief in time. First, we present the parent talk from the 16th annual LPCH Day of Remembrance & Rededication ceremony by a young couple sharing their journey with grief over the past five years. You’ll also find an article written by a grieving mother reflecting on how her grief has evolved over the past fifteen years. Finally, we’ve included links to helpful child grief resources in honor of Children’s Grief Awareness Day to help readers understand loss from a child’s perspective- and how that perspective changes as children grow.
In this issue, you’ll meet Cynthia Glasserman-Morales, who talks about the loss of her baby during a time of social distancing and the ways she found the strength to go on despite her family being in another country. Also, we offer reviews for two books that we hope will bring you comfort and hope. Last, to support our youngest grievers, we’ve listed several camps for grieving children and teens taking place this summer.
In this issue, Megan and Brian Favat’s reflection from our Day of Remembrance ceremony. We hope you find inspiration and some reflection of your own resilience in their story.

A new year. A graduation. A job change. These are common transitions we encounter as we go through life. But transitions, even positive ones, include loss.
In this issue, we focus on wellness. Caring for those who remain, and for ourselves. Finding balance in a world which has been forever tilted on its axis.
