For families facing the end-of-life of their child or those already grieving, we offer the support of an death doula and monthly virtual grief groups.

My child is on hospice…

Coming to terms with the possibility that one’s child might not survive their cancer diagnosis is one of the most complex transitions you will ever experience. To support you through this time we partner with bereaved mother and End-of Life Doula, Beecher Grogan, who has supported medically complex children and their families for over 20 years. Beecher holds space for hope while helping sick children and their families navigate difficult conversations about dying. She compassionately guides the family as they process thoughts and concerns that no child or parent or sibling should ever have to think about. During the end-of-life transition, Beecher works closely with you and your medical care team to support the sick child, their parents/caregivers, siblings, and their loved ones by providing:

My child passed away…

If you’ve lost a child to a chronic, childhood illness, and would like to be connected to a community of bereaved parents, look no further. In addition to our signature bereavement retreats, we also offer a monthly virtual grief group to connect families. Not every grieving person is comfortable in speaking about their loss openly with people they don’t yet know. However, studies show that peer support groups are as much, if not more, effective as professional individual psychotherapy. The people that do attend, consider it an integral part of their healing.

At the meetings, each person is encouraged, but not obligated, to share for 10-15 minutes and respond to others’ inquiries. In this supportive environment, parents can make peer connections for themselves and their surviving children. They also can see positive examples of people that have managed to survive their grief, and receive empathy for when their own grief feels too much to bear. There is no geographic restriction to attend our online grief group, however, it is specific to people that lost a child under 20 to a disease or health condition.
