Bereaved Parent Meetings are

A place to talk about your child. A place to
remember the joys of their life and the pain and
struggle of living without them.
A place to meet other parents who have in fact
survived what may seem impossible to you right now.

They are not

“The answer” grief is not a problem to be solved.
“Pity parties” although there are tears and sadness,
there is hope
“Closure” you close on a house, not the death
of a child
