For Friends & Family (draft edit 2024)

Family & Friends

The passing (or anticipated passing) of a beloved child doesn't just affect the parents, but also their entire community. Often, friends and family struggle as they witness the suffering of someone they care deeply about and feel powerless and uncertain about how to help. If you find yourself in this position today, please know that you are not alone. We are so sorry for the circumstance that brought you here, but commend you on your choice to face the discomfort of grief for the sake of your loved-one(s).

This section was created specifically with YOU in mind. It was created to give you tangible and simple takeaways on how to support the loss-parent(s) in your life—so as you move forward you can approach your relationship with knowledge, grace and tact. Below, we've outlined practical ways you can provide support while also ensuring you take care of yourself as you walk with your loved-one through their loss-journey.

“We are often only as strong as our friends and family make us, only as strong as our community, only as strong as the resources and privileges we have.”
