Camp GoodGrief Reunion

Dylan had a Camp GoodGrief (the 2nd grief camp he attended this past summer) Reunion bowling party this afternoon. They wanted to get the campers back together and prepare them for the upcoming holidays but in a fun way. They would not let parents stay (they believe the children feel more free to express their grief when they are not with their parents) but Dylan said he had a good time and that he liked talking about Cedie.

Dylan asked me if we were going to put up Cedie's stocking this year. Chris and I had already discussed this once before. I asked him why he would like to have it out and he said
"that way Santa can leave her some pretty ribbons and some flowers so we can use them at her site" (he calls her gravesite and the cemetary in general "her site")

He never ceases to amaze me with his awesome sense of understanding and compassion.
