About Us
In 2020 the founders of Papillon Center for Loss and Transition reached out to Coastal Kids Home Care. Building on more than 20 years of caring for our community, Coastal Kids Home Care is honored to continue Papillon’s mission to transform grief into healing through compassionate bereavement support
Our Philosophy
Losing someone you love impacts every part of your life. You may feel overwhelmed and isolated. Friends and family offer support but may not know what to say, or may be experiencing their own grief.
At Papillon Center for Loss and Transition, we have experience in grief and loss. Every grief experience is different, but... you are not in this alone. Papillon, French for “butterfly,” symbolizes the transformative experience of grief.
Bereavement Care for the Whole Family
The loss of a loved one is devastating. Papillon Center for Loss and Transition offers a local resource where you can find comfort, support, and tools to survive your loss and rebuild your life.

Coastal Kids nurses and social workers coordinate with dozens of agencies to makes sure our pediatric patients and their families have access to community resources to support their financial, social and emotional well-being when transitioning from hospital to home. Here are a few of the agencies we work with everyday.










DONORS.
Our donors are our heroes. Without their generous support, kids in our community living with illness and disability would not have access to compassionate in home healthcare. We are incredibly grateful to these loyal long-time donors for making home possible for sick kids.
