Grief and Bereavement

The unimaginable has happened. You’ve been told your child will not get better or, even worse, have recently died. You’re sure you’ll never recover. And in some ways, you’re right. You and your family will never be the same again. But that doesn’t mean you, and your relationship with your child, won’t survive. We’re here to help.

On these pages you’ll find information on what to expect as each member of your family grieves and suggestions for navigating end of life care and bereavement. We’ve also gathered ideas to help the entire family cope and make it through this agonizing time.

Most of all, we hope you’ll see that no matter what you feel, it’s alright. Because there are only two real truths about grief. Everyone grieves differently and going through the grieving process is the only way to make it to the other side.
