Kids who want to join should have a parent's permission to join. Kids under 18 will have their parent or guardian contacted by GriefNet to confirm their permission for the kid to join. This is a place where the unique problems of parenting when widowed can be discussed. JOIN griefwidowed-movingon is our support group for anyone who has lost a partner or a spouse at any age, at any time, of any sexual orientation, and who has moved on beyond the first raw stages of dealing with that loss. This list was formed at the request of people in grief-widowed group whose issues have become different from those who are newly bereaved.
Some persons subscribe to both lists.
JOIN Loss of child grieving-parents is our general parents support group for parents who have had a child of any age die from any cause, whether recently or long ago. JOIN Other groups have spun off from these two groups. Topics in these bereaved parents groups overlap, and you are welcome to join as many of these lists as you wish. Often these parents have difficulty grieving this loss in bereaved-parent support groups because they still have a surviving child. This unique loss can be openly discussed here with others who will understand.
