Parents Bereavement Volunteer Committee:

Bereavement volunteers assist those who have experienced the loss of someone close. They might make support calls, meet one-on-one with individuals, or co-facilitate grief support groups.

Support is offered during the year following the death of a loved one. One-on-one visits may take place in a home, coffee shop, or another location where the bereaved is most comfortable meeting.

Volunteers listen and help the bereaved to discover resources available to them. Grief Support Groups are offered in various communities in our service area. The volunteer must have knowledge of counseling and training in this area.

It is often said that there is no greater loss than the loss of a child. It is what every parent fears and--if it happens--it can be intense enough to drive many people away. What every family member and friend faced with helping a grieving parent needs to know is that their help will be needed eventually.

 It may not be beneficial straight away, but some day it will be. You need to judge the timing and need by the nature of the people involved and by how events unfold.

What a bereaved parent wants the most is to have their child back. Sadly, no one can grant that wish. But, you "can" help. Knowing the right and wrong things to say or do when you are trying to help is important, while much of this will require your heightened sensitivity to the particular situation.
