Family Lives On provides support to children and teens whose mother or father has died. We make it possible for families to continue to celebrate traditions or activities they used to do with their parent, by providing all they need (amusement park tickets, baking ingredients, etc.).
The Tradition Program is grounded in research and a number of clinically identified needs in bereaved children. Engaging in a ritual can provide structure and routine to the chaos of life impaired by loss. Traditions provide a more natural context for children and teens to talk about the person who had died. The longevity and continuity of our program nurtures these connections throughout the child’s development, the average child participates for 7.2 years.
Unfortunately, the Tradition Program is currently at MAXIMUM CAPACITY and not accepting additional enrollment.
Family Lives On is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Exton, PA that supports grieving children, teens and families nationally, regardless of race, gender, religion, geographic location, socioeconomic status, or cause of parent's death. Services are provided at no cost to the family.
