Why Choose Sutter?

Losing a loved one is an emotional, difficult time for family and friends. Whether a loss was expected due to illness or very sudden, we’re here to help. Our grief specialists — including pastoral team members, social workers and child life specialists — provide empathetic, personalized support tailored to the age of each child. We pay special consideration to the relationship your child had with the person who passed, whether it was a parent, grandparent or close friend.

Younger children often find comfort through play and art therapy, while older siblings and parents may benefit from speaking with someone outside the family. Kids also benefit from support from peers who have also lost a loved one. Our art and music programs also provide comfort and hope to grieving children.
