A weekend at grief camp: 'It's never going to be the same'
<snip>Every year, the nonprofit Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors brings together hundreds of children of fallen service members to attend the Good Grief Camp. The camp coincides with TAPS' National Military Survivor Seminar for spouses and parents.
This year, more than 2,000 people, including 500 children, are in attendance. Among them are 120 teens between the ages of 13 and 19, broken into age groups such as the one Jordan is attending.
Each child and teen at the camp is paired with an adult mentor, primarily active-duty service members who can provide an ear and a shoulder.<snip>
