About The Tristesse Grief Center The Tristesse Grief Center is a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive grief support services for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. The center offers individual bereavement counseling as well as ongoing loss-specific support groups facilitated by professional counselors. It also recognizes the importance of addressing grief with children who are often denied the opportunity to mourn the loss of a parent, sibling or friend because their caregivers do not recognize the child's need or are dealing with the loss themselves. Six-week support group sessions for children ages 5-11 and teens ages 12-17 bring those with similar losses together to help them better understand and express their emotions, while their caregivers meet in separate groups to learn how to recognize and address problems their children may be having in dealing with the loss. The Tristesse Grief Center also offers off-site bereavement training and education for businesses, retirement centers, schools, agencies, churches and more. You need only to walk in the doors of the beautiful bungalow at 1709 S. Baltimore Ave. to feel the warmth and welcome of home.
