Brief History
 Thanks to a generous donation from the Young Woman's Home Association of Detroit, we are pleased to provide When Dinosaurs Die and Facing Change to families who are currently participating in our program. We ask that only the families who have received these books complete these surveys. There is a separate survey for each book. Please contact SandCastles at |
SandCastles began in 1997, with the philosophy that the program would provide grieving children, teens and families the opportunity to come together for nurturing and strength as they journey through the world of grief. SandCastles believes that participating in groups with “peers” can help children to normalize the grief experience and find within themselves their natural capacity to heal.
Our program works to provide a sanctuary of understanding, acceptance and growth. The giving and receiving of support provides a common ground for enduring one of the most painful journeys that can be taken, the journey through grief.
The children are our teachers. Each has a personal, unique experience that is to be respected. SandCastles works to provide a safe and healing environment that allows each individual to travel their path through grief which will, with the support of staff, volunteers, peers and families, lead to an understanding of the grief experience and an honoring of the loved one who died.
Sondra, we will miss you.
