Art by Grieving Children

More at http://umc.org/videos/ The Rays of Hope Children’s Grief Centre in Texas helps children who have lost a loved one, are experiencing a divorce, or coping with a parent being incarcerated. Because traumas can be hard to talk about, counselors help kids tell their stories through art and music in a supportive and loving environment. Vicki Jay is the Executive Director of Rays of Hope and a Stephen’s Minister at First United Methodist Church. “I wish every community could have a Rays of Hope, some way to serve children those have had losses and changes, some way to recognize that they’re grieving and to do something about it.”
