Support for children and teenagers of fallen soldiers

Sharing your feelings is hard, especially when they are about loss. But I am very grateful for the experience of working with psychologists Tetiana and Svitlana. It changed my view of my life and of myself. I now understand that I truly value life and find joy in it. I have definitely changed, and without the TAPS psychologists this would not have happened!

I am sincerely grateful to the psychologists of the TAPS foundation for their incredible support. It is thanks to them that I was able to feel alive again, that there are bright moments in life, and that even after the darkest periods one can find the strength to move forward.

I lost my son and my husband in the war. The pain of loss paralyzes and literally kills. Being in a state of grief without support is very hard, but loved ones cannot always provide the necessary support — and that is when it is worth seeking help from specialists. I turned to the TAPS foundation for psychological help, and I believe it was the right decision. I am very grateful to the psychologists for their effective assistance.

I am endlessly grateful to the psychologists of the TAPS foundation for providing support not only to children, but also to mothers during such a difficult time. Working with a psychologist personally opened my eyes, allowed me to look at my condition from a distance, rethink things, and understand how to live on after loss.

After losing my son it was very hard for me. At first I tried to cope on my own, but the constant pain and insomnia led to health problems. That is when I realized I needed help. At TAPS I began attending psychological support groups, and within a few months I felt changes. We learned not only how to come out of difficult states, but also how not to fall into them. I am very grateful to the foundation's specialists — it was they who helped me see again that life goes on, and to learn to live after loss.

The psychologists helped me see myself as the person I was before the loss. They helped me find inner resources, points of support, believe in myself, give myself a chance to truly live my life rather than merely exist, and allow myself to be alive. To rebuild my relationship with my children and become a support for one another. Thank you endlessly.

I worked with a psychologist at TAPS gradually. At first, psychologist Yana simply listened to me, then she gave me exercises that helped pull me out of my difficult states. It did not happen all at once — it was gradual, but it produced results that I am satisfied with.

The professional psychologists found the key to my wounded soul. They placed in my heart hope for a happy future and the strength to live my life. Thank you.

After losing my son, I did not want to talk to anyone or do anything — I felt completely helpless. But when being alone became unbearable, I began looking for support. At TAPS, I joined a psychological support group. There, together with mothers who had also lost their sons in the war, we worked hard and persistently to stabilize our condition. We succeeded. I am very grateful to the psychologists for their work with us.
