SIBLING GRIEF BOXES
SIBLING GRIEF SUPPORT
ABOUT BLESSINGS FOR BARRETT
A sibling comfort box is a thoughtful support package for a grieving child. It may include personalized comfort items and grief resources meant to help your child feel seen, supported, and cared for during a hard time.
Each grief box is thoughtfully created with age-appropriate items intended to provide comfort, connection, and opportunities for healthy grief expression. Contents may vary based on the child's age, available resources, and the needs of the program.
You can request a comfort box for a grieving sibling if you are a parent, caregiver, or another person supporting the child. Teachers, counselors, hospitals, and hospices can also request support for families.
You can submit a sibling grief box request through the Blessings for Barrett website. We ask for information that helps us understand the child's age and circumstances so we can provide appropriate grief support and resources.
Blessings for Barrett provides grief boxes as part of our nonprofit mission to support bereaved siblings. Our programs are made possible through donations, sponsorships, fundraising events, grants, and community partners.
