An important part of grieving the loss of a loved one is the opportunity to express the feelings involved. The Solace Tree was founded in 2003 by Emilio Parga as a place for children, teens and their caregivers to learn about death and have a safe place to express their feelings. As a non-profit organization, Solace Tree is able to offer these services with the help of the Reno/Sparks community.
