Child Loss Support Groups &
Grief Resource Information

This "Child Loss Support Groups & Grief Resource Information" page is dedicated as a tribute in loving memory of Chase Preston Rinehart of Warner Robins, Georgia.

Chapter 10 of Holding Onto Love: Searching for Hope When a Child Dies outlines a variety of sources of reassurance to grieving families, including the comfort some grief support groups can provide. There are a multitude of support groups devoted to various types of bereavement throughout the country. A few of these organizations are listed below for your convenience. However, you are encouraged not to let this be the end of your inquiry. There may be a terrific grief support group located in your community. You might learn about it simply by talking with local social workers, therapists, religious leaders, or other bereaved family members. If you try different groups relevant to your circumstances, you will hopefully find an environment that gives you comfort.
