TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â Providing more help for children in grief. That s the idea behind Big Bend Hospice s Camp Woe be Gone .
Big Bend Hospice is giving children ages 6 through 12 who have suffered a loss the chance to come together and heal with other children in similar circumstances. Katie Kliner is a camp director who doubles as a grief counselor. She says it s an important part of the healing process; especially for children at that age. Oftentimes kids in this age group, their grief is overlooked. not on purpose but just because it looks a lot different from what s expected of adults and older teens, she said.

Is there something about getting older that just causes you to die? LPETTET/Getty Images
Most people have a grandparent or great-aunt who, whether suddenly or gradually, died of old age. Technically speaking, however, old age isn t actually a cause of death in the same way that hypertension or diabetes or a car accident can be. Regardless, the saying persists, but what do we mean when we say that someone died of old age?
First, what constitutes old age, anyway? In the United States, anyone 65 or older is considered an older adult. The group is then subdivided out, with people 65-74 considered young-old, those 75-84 are middle-old and anyone 85 or up old-old, according to Dr. Niharika Suchak, associate professor in the Department of Geriatrics at Florida State University College of Medicine and medical director of Big Bend Hospice, Tallahassee, Florida.
