Our Programs
Emotional Support
Program Information
TEARS believes in a philosophy of emotional support called, “companioning.” Instead of telling you how to heal, TEARS will go with you on your journey. We will come along side you as you choose how you need to grieve and honor your lost one, and we will support you by being there for you. We will help as much or as little as you want. If counseling or other community resources would help you, we can assist you in finding them. We will also offer you opportunities throughout the year to remember and celebrate your child.
TEARS also offers Centers for Child Loss and ongoing support groups for bereaved parents. To join these programs, please contact us at families@thetearsfoundation.org for details on times and availability.
