Compassionate Friends

After my son passed away I joined a wonderful group called the Compassionate Friends. http://compassionatefriends.org. I was skeptical about attending meetings with other grieving parents as I anticipated it to be a pity party. I was amazed at the parents involved in this organization. I really benefited from their strength and their ability to face their grief head on. Some parents had lost children to murder, suicide, illness, long term illness, accidents, etc. At the time I was really struggling with depression and the people there gave me hope. I highly recommend supporting this organization in any way you can.
