Grief Statistics in Florida
Childhood grief has profound impacts on youth, families, and communities.
Judi’s House is a childhood bereavement organization in Denver, Colorado, that helps grieving children and families work through their grief. The organization publishes a yearly Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model (CBEM), which breaks down nationwide statistics state-by-state.
CBEM approximates rates of U.S. children and youth who will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the time they reach adulthood. This information helps communities evaluate the impact of unaddressed grief, campaign for grief resources, and ultimately, contribute to improved outcomes for grieving families. Shining a light on the prevalence of childhood bereavement is imperative to generate meaningful change.
