Abstract

The article focuses on Comfort Zone Camp, a nonprofit bereavement camp designed for children who have lost a loved one, particularly through suicide. Founded in 1998, the camp provides a supportive environment where children can process their grief while engaging in typical camp activities. The Aquilino sisters, who lost their father to suicide, found solace and community at the camp, which has seen increased demand since the COVID-19 pandemic. Comfort Zone Camp emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and emotions, helping children navigate their grief in a safe and understanding setting. [Extracted from the article]
