Kids Hurt Too Hawaii

Continuing bonds with your deceased loved one acknowledges that the grief is ongoing. Grief isn't something you go through, it's something that becomes a part of you. It's forever. You may find that over time as you make room for grief, it can become a more peaceful and positive presence. One where warm memories and a connection with your loved one can grow. #grieftiptuesday #continuingbonds #acknowledgegrief #griefawareness #memories #coping #kidshurttoohawaii #healingyounghearts

Happy Aloha Friday from all of us at Kids Hurt Too Hawai’i! A reminder to our parents and caregivers that children are recommended to get 60-minutes of physical activity such as running, jumping, sports and physical play, each day. Make sure to limit exercise to 30-minute sessions in hot and humid climates. Encourage your child to drink water before, during and after physical activity. And most importantly, encourage children to let loose and have fun! We wi...sh you all have a safe, healthy and joyful weekend #alohafriday #healthmessage #kidshurttoohawaii #healingyounghearts #exercise #outdoors #sunshine #weekend #play #copingwithgrief #healingjourney #selfcare

#WellnessWednesday: A makeover can be a great expression of self-care, as it teaches young girls to have high regard for their self-confidence, self-love, and overall well-being. This photo was taken during our makeover and photoshoot activity in May 2019. Professional photographer, Mary Hoffman, and her volunteer team of makeup artists, body artists, hair stylists, dress stylists, and manicurists gave a makeover to each girl participating, and took their photo! Self-c...are through grief is a powerful and meaningful choice. Although practicing self-care through grief will not take away the grief, it will help you to counterbalance grieving with living, and build healthy habits for your future. #WellnessWednesday #selfcare #healthyhabits #selflove #confidence #makeover #photoshoot #wellbeing #positiveselftalk #kidshurttoohawaii #healingyounghearts

A #grieftiptuesday reminder that children grieve differently than adults. We should avoid assumptions that a child is not grieving if they are not showing symptoms that we expect. Please share this information. #GriefTipTuesday images reposted from @child_life_grief_notes #grieftiptuesday #repost #griefisdifferent #children #teens #adults #kidshurttoohawaii #endorsedmessage #healingyounghearts

Today is National Cuddle Up Day! Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has tremendous health benefits. Besides giving us warm and fuzzy feelings, oxytocin reduces pain. Sometimes all it takes is a good tight hug from a friend, family member, pet, or loved one to release these feel-good hormones and brighten up your day! Photo is a #throwbackthursday capture from one of our collaboration events with Na Kama Kai! #nationalcuddleupday #throwbackthursday #oxytocin #goodhormones #kidshurttoohawaii #nakamakai #throwback #healingyounghearts #nochildgrievesalone
