MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Every Tuesday as part of our Greater Memphis on a Mission series, we highlight organizations making Memphis better. This week, we caught up with a group that believes grief is better shared. "Two years ago I lost my dad because of cancer. I've been struggling with it and we didn't know what to do. So my mom started looking into grief counseling," said Emma Banks. Emma was six when her dad, Bill, passed away from pancreatic cancer and when her mom went searching for resources. "How to be real with her and transparent with her and not scary. And use the right words. They really walked us through all of that. It was a huge gift," said Emma's mom, Robyn Banks. The Kemmons Wilson Family Center for Good Grief provides a safe environment for children, teens, and adults to explore and express their feelings after the death of a loved one free of cost. Angela Hamblen-Kelly is the administrator of the Baptist Centers for Good Grief. "Grief is real, big, and better shared. And we say that because we want people to understand that grief is a real experience. Grief changes everything in a family," said Hamblen-Kelly. They help children every step of the way. Non-profit uses the arts to empower Memphis youth "It's called putting emotions into motion. Because 6 to 12-year-olds need to let those feelings be expressed. And they need motion," She said. "They've taught me a lot of things like cookie breathing and a lot of tools to help me when I'm feeling anxious and I think about my dad," said Emma Banks. They also have programming for teens. "Their programming involves working on different types of coping skills and sharing and expressing, when they're able to express with each other. That peer-to-peer support is so important," said Hamblen-Kelly. 📡 See more breaking news, local news and weather from WREG.com for Memphis and the Mid-South. 📧 Sign up for WREG newsletters and have the latest top stories sent right to your inbox. They have a variety of groups for adults to meet different types of losses. "If they're grieving parents or if they're grieving the death of a suicide, we want to give them just different opportunities for connection because that's where it comes back to that better shared, you know, really being able to lean in with somebody else who can kind of understand some of the unique circumstances of particular losses," Hamblen-Kelly said. Robyn Banks says she found the programming very helpful. "How to parent through grieving, which is a hard thing to do. And so they gave me tools for how to help this one and take care of myself as well through the whole process," she said. That is why Brown Missionary Baptist Church and the Mid-South Genesis CDC donated $1,000 to Camp Good Grief. Because grief is truly better when shared.
