Graduating from high school is an achievement for anyone, but for teenagers who are grieving the death of someone close to them, that moment of walking across the stage to get their diploma can symbolize everything they have overcome to get there. Facing life after the death of someone close to them can bring many changes in a teenager's already rapidly changing life, whether that means new family dynamics, changes in friendships, moving houses, or just missing that person who used to be there for them. These are just a handful of our Kate's Club high school graduates, but we want to give a big congratulations to any teenager who has worked hard for their diploma. We are excited to hear about all the inspiring things you will accomplish next!
