We hope that this on-line directory of bereavement support groups and services and hospice bereavement programs from across the United States will provide you with information to help you or others you care about find appropriate help and support in coping with issues of loss and grief. A simple page dealing with US groups. There are presently hundreds of chapters world-wide. Local chapters meet to share experiences and offer support to those going through the grief process. A chapter meeting is a safe place to talk about the trauma following the death of a child.
Many chapters have separate meetings for surviving siblings.
In addition to meetings most chapters sponsor a periodic newsletter. This provides a source of expression and sharing for those not able to attend the meetings. More than 2,000 students have taken our university course on Thanatology and an equal number have taken our non-credit courses. This site is dedicated to all my fellow traveller's, both past and present, along the road of grief and bereavement. Grief is an equal-opportunity affliction.
