Children's Grief Awareness Day
NOVEMBER 20, 2025
What is Children's Grief Awareness Day?
​
Children’s Grief Awareness Day is observed annually and nationally to shine a light on the impact of grief in the lives of children. It’s a time to recognize the impact that comes with the death of a loved one and to ensure that children who are grieving receive the support they need.
We raise awareness so that more people understand how to support a grieving child—whether it’s someone they know now or may meet in the future. At Erin’s House, we believe no child should grieve alone.​
