Ted E. Bear Hollow Holds Informative Events

Nebraska is fortunate to be home to several organizations that extend a helping hand to children experiencing loss and grief. These organizations are of immense value to our communities, as they help youngsters of all ages understand loss and grief in age appropriate words, and to experience comfort in their loss. Sadly, many children and teens never experience these steps to healing, and carry a never healing scar from their loss for years to come.

Not Alone Radio Program, May 15: Toni Hoy, Author

Toni Hoy has written a poignant book called “Second Time Foster Child”, that I think is a must read for every parent with a child in need of mental health services, as well as every therapist, social worker, member of the legislature, the juvenile justice system, and the departments of health and human services.

• We always like to pass along a little credit where credit is due. Our friend, Smoke, is back in the news. Readers will recall that Smoke was an abandoned donkey found in Iraq and brought to his new forever home in Omaha. Smoke understands the trauma involved in starting over with a new life, and with adjusting to change. Smoke now works full time as a therapy donkey at Take Flight Farms in Omaha, and reports are that Smoke is awesome! He recently received the Friends Forever Tina Durham Service Award from the Nebraska Humane Society at its annual Black Tie and Tails Benefit. Congratulations, Smoke! #
