HFA Teleconference - 2008 Call for Artwork

Hospice Foundation of America requested artwork from hospices, schools, and art therapy groups nationwide for the 2008 teleconference, Living With Grief®: Children and Adolescents.  The following submissions of grief-related artwork were produced by children and adolescents.  Providing a creative outlet can be an important part of the grief process.  A person does not need to consider him or herself an “artist” to produce these works.  By expressing their feelings creatively, the grief process can be better articulated and shared.  Here are some of the submissions HFA received this fall.  We wish to thank all the participants who sent in these wonderful works.  To view a larger image and information about each piece, click on the individual images below.
