The journey of the bereaved is a long and difficult one. For a parent who has lost a child, the loss is accompanied by so many other losses . . . The dreams and hopes we had for them; the graduation, the wedding, the grandchild we hoped to welcome into the family; the family gatherings and laughter shared, and the holidays that are now too difficult to enjoy.
Parents are not the only ones who grieve. The spouse who lost a beloved partner, the sibling who lost their best friend, the grandparent who lost the grandchild, the son or daughter who lost a beloved parent, and the individual who lost a friend are also grieving. The loss of a loved one affects the entire family and community. We are dedicated to assisting families and individuals who are grieving a loss, with support and resources to aid in the healing process. We offer a safe place where stories can be shared, surrounding them with love and acceptance as we all travel together on a healing journey "From Grief to Hope" Estrella Alvarez-Tinch fromgrieftohopefl@gmail.com |
