Compassionate Support in Times of Grief
The path through grief after losing someone to suicide can be shrouded in confusion and isolation. We understand the paramount importance of dedicating time to grieve—with intention, care, and community. We hope these resources can help you begin your journey towards healing.
Request a Comfort Box​
In partnership with Stay; For Life, The Kita Center is offering Comfort Boxes to those grieving the recent loss of a loved one to suicide.
These boxes include carefully curated items from both organizations, thoughtfully chosen to provide comfort and a sense of community during this challenging time. They are best suited for a loss within the past 3 to 6 months. To request a Comfort Box for yourself or someone you know, please fill out the form below, and we will reach out shortly.
