Types of Death Supported
Death of a Child
Participants who take part in our support programs are experiencing the death of their child, of any age. They are united in sharing the pain associated with being a bereaved parent. By sharing their stories, as well as the courage and strength they’ve gained through their grief journey, our facilitators and participants help guide each other through their bereavement.
Death of child groups are available through our Tuesday monthly Support and Share Nights and Closed Groups offered in the spring and fall. These support groups are led by trained volunteer facilitators who have grieved the death of their child years ago. They have been where you are now.
Death of a Spouse or Partner (Younger Demographic)
Losing a spouse or partner can feel like losing a piece of yourself. No longer having your partner there through the ups and downs of life can be scary and lonely. We have many participants and trained facilitators who have each gone through the death of a spouse or partner. By sharing our stories of loss, we support one another with friendship, compassion, and understanding.

Participants are invited to share their stories, listen, and support one another as they navigate their unique grief journey.
