Support group for parents who have lost a child due to disability or illness, although any grieving parent is welcome. I decided to start this group because I have lost a child to a long term fatal illness. I know what it is like to live next to a hospital bed and to have people think you are a nurse from all the knowledge you have gained and now have no need to use it on a daily basis. When my son passed in April 1997 I was lucky enough to have found a group just like this. It was so amazing to …

Are you someone's primary caregiver? If you care for a child, an elder or parent, or perhaps BOTH - then, this group is for you. Let's face it...caregiving is a demanding job that can also be incredibly thankless, frustrating, and just plain boring at times.

So we carry the stress of caregiving by ourselves. Let's change that …
