Suicide Prevention Resource Center - Resources For Survivors

The Compassionate Friends - Supporting Family After A Child Dies
The Compassionate Friends is about transforming the pain of grief into the elixir of hope. It takes people out of the isolation society imposes on the bereaved and lets them express their grief naturally. With the shedding of tears, healing comes. And the newly bereaved get to see people who have survived and are learning to live and love again.
