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/Partner 54 years and under

Death of Sibling, Relative, and Friend
Our sibling, relative, and friend relationships shape our lives in many meaningful ways. They may be mentors, confidants, or cherished parts of our family circle.
These groups bring together people who understand the unique grief that comes from losing someone close. Guided by trained volunteer facilitators who have also experienced the loss of a sibling, relative, or friend, participants find comfort, connection, and hope in shared understanding.
Death of a Parent
The bond between a parent and child is one of life’s most profound connections. Losing a parent can bring feelings of sadness, longing, and even disorientation, no matter our age or stage of life.
Our Loss of Parent Group offers a caring and understanding space to share your grief with others who truly understand. Guided by trained volunteer facilitators who have also experienced the loss of a parent, participants find comfort, validation, and a sense of community as they navigate their healing journey together.
Death by
Substance Use
Losing someone to substance use is heartbreaking and often complicated. Along with the deep pain of loss, families and friends may struggle with feelings of stigma, unanswered questions, or guilt. Our facilitators—who have themselves experienced the loss of a loved one to substance use—create a space of trust, compassion, and understanding. Participants are invited to share their stories, listen, and support one another as they navigate their unique grief journey.
Death by Substance Use groups are available through our Tuesday monthly Support and Share Nights. Our trained volunteer facilitators, who have lived through this kind of loss, offer guidance and empathy from a place of personal experience and hope.
Death by Suicide
Death by suicide can be traumatic and devastating. In addition to grieving their person, it is difficult to deal with how their person died. Our facilitators who have experienced death by suicide provide an environment of trust and understanding, where participants share their stories and support each other.
Death by Suicide groups are available through our Tuesday monthly Support and Share Nights and Closed Groups offered in the spring and fall. Our trained volunteer facilitators who have grieved a death by suicide years ago, have been where you are now.
