One of the organizations that was of a great help to me, other than my local church family, was The Compassionate Friends. They are an organization that has Chapters world-wide where people who have had children die get together to talk, to discuss their feelings and situations with others who understand what it is they are going through. They generally meet once a month. They are dedicated to helping parents through their grief...to a brighter tomorrow. Contact information is as follows:
