Good Morning,
Grief touches every one of us. 💙
Whether it's the loss of a parent, partner, sibling, friend or colleague, it changes lives forever. While we can't take away someone's pain, we can help ensure they don't have to face it alone.
Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer is support. 🤝 A conversation. A safe space. A reminder that someone cares.
Research shows that feeling connected and receiving appropriate grief support can help bereaved children build resilience, reduce emotional distress and improve wellbeing (Hanauer et al., 2024). Yet many children experience the death of a loved one without access to specialized grief support when they need it most.
💛 This Chooseday, choose to support those navigating grief.
When a child loses someone they love, the world changes in an instant. Life becomes divided into two parts: before and after. For many children, that loss arrives before they have the language or emotional tools to understand what has happened. They simply feel the absence, the shift in the adults around them, and the weight of emotions they cannot yet name.
Too often, that grief is carried quietly and alone.
Feel the Magic believes no child should have to navigate grief alone. 💙 Through evidence-based bereavement programs, camps and ongoing support, they create safe spaces where children and families can connect with others who understand, build resilience, develop healthy coping skills and find hope for the future.
✨ Families often share that, for the first time since their loss, their child feels truly understood. Children leave knowing they are not alone and equipped with tools to navigate grief as they grow.
📈 Every year, thousands of Australian children lose a parent, sibling or close family member, yet many have limited access to specialised grief support.
💙 Your support can change that.
By donating or volunteering with Feel the Magic, you'll help more children access life-changing grief support, creating futures shaped not only by loss, but by connection, resilience and hope.
Because no child should grieve alone. 💛
Whether you can give financially or lend your time, every contribution helps a grieving child feel seen, supported and less alone.
