National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG)

Aunts and uncles can play significant roles in our lives, often becoming a confidant, mentor, and source of support. On National Aunts and Uncles Day, the NACG holds space for those grieving the loss of their aunts and uncles. 💙

The NACG recognizes the importance of personal wellness, especially today, on #InternationalSelfCareDay. This can sometimes be a difficult task for those who are grieving. Like our grief, how we practice self-care looks different for everyone. In this post, we have shared what personal wellness may look like in grief. Share with us in the comments some ways you practice self-care. ⬇️

Today, on National Cousins Day, the NACG is thinking of those who have experienced the loss of a cousin. This day can serve as a reminder that our cousins are not just our family but often our closest friends. Remember it's okay to feel a mix of emotions and to give yourself space today if you need it. 💙
