Blue Butterfly: A new
home for grieving families
Tidewell Hospice is thrilled to unveil the new home of the Blue
Butterfly Family Grief Center, 6800 Professional Parkway W., in
Lakewood Ranch. Blue Butterfly has experienced tremendous growth
since its inception in April 2018, making it necessary for the program
to find a permanent home.
The new Blue Butterfly Family Grief Center features colorful, ageappropriate
rooms for young children, pre-teens and teenagers. There
is also a place for parents and guardians to meet for counseling.
The Blue Butterfly Family Grief Center is a Tidewell Hospice program
that helps grieving children and teens, ages 5-18, and their parents
or guardians through peer-support groups and activities. If you know
someone who could benefit from the grief support Blue Butterfly
provides, call 941-893-6610, email dvisone@tidewell.org or visit
tidewellhospice.org/bluebutterfly. “It’s the butterfly effect;
we’re transforming our grief into healing and
then we go help someone else with theirs.”
