*Motto:* There is no other loss like that of one's child. Parents whose
children have died will never be the same. Their grief is longer, harder and
more complicated than that of other bereaved people.

"Only The Best"

A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day he took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
To others just part of the past.
But to us who loved & lost you,
The memory will always last.

The needs of those who have suffered the loss of a child are special. One of
these needs is to share the pain with others who have experienced this very
difficult kind of grief.

Another parent who has walked the same dark road can be a beacon of light to
show the way out of darkness.

Our support groups are led by trained facilitators-parents who have
themselves experienced the death of a child.

*Groups meet monthly throughout the year.

*There is hope. There is help.

*It is possible to survive even this loss.
