How will we go on?

Grieving Parents

When your child dies, nothing compares to the pain, fear and sorrow you are living in. Questions like ‘Why?’ ‘Is Heaven Real?’ ‘Is God even Good?’ feel overwhelming and painful as you begin the long journey of grief.

How can I help?

Families and Friends

If you know someone who has lost an infant or young child, you probably want to help, but don’t know how. We offer some thoughts and helpful tips on how to care for your loved one in their sorrow.

How can I lead?

Leaders and Pastors

If someone in your church has lost a child, you may not have prior experience in shepherding the family through the death of an infant or young child. There are so many things to consider in the early hours and then through the years of shepherding the brokenhearted. Here’s a place to start.
