We are incredibly grateful for the invaluable mentorship provided by the Center for Good Grief in Memphis, whose guidance and resources have shaped the heart of Lemons to Lemonade. Their generosity extends far beyond their expertise—they have shared vital resources for our community, which we are proud to feature on our website, and they’ve supported us every step of the way as we launched our first grief camp.

The Center for Good Grief reviewed our camp itinerary, offering insights to ensure it was fun, safe, and meaningful for every camper. They prepared us for what to expect emotionally from our campers and served as a compassionate sounding board throughout the planning process. Their involvement is a huge reason why the 2024 Grief Camp was such a success.

Without the Center for Good Grief, there would be no Lemons to Lemonade—it is where it all began. This special place helped Sophia navigate her grief after losing her father at a young age. Through their programs, she learned coping strategies, found community with other kids just like her, and realized that she was going to be okay.

The Center recently invited Sophia to be a guest on their podcast, where she shared her personal grief journey. In this heartfelt episode, Sophia reflects on what it felt like to lose her father as a little girl, what she remembers from that time, and how she found hope. It’s an inspiring listen that we encourage everyone to check out.

Thank you, Memphis Center for Good Grief, for your unwavering support, your generosity, and for being the spark that started it all. You hold a special place in our hearts, and we are forever grateful for the role you’ve played in making Lemons to Lemonade what it is today.
