WELCOME We are the parents whose children have died. We are the siblings whose brothers and sisters no longer walk with us through life. We are the grandparents who have buried grandchildren. We come together as Bereaved Parents of the USA to provide a safe space where grieving families can connect, share our stories, and learn to rebuild our lives. We attend meetings whenever we can and for as long as we find helpful. We share our fears, confusion, anger, guilt, frustrations, emptiness, and feelings of hopelessness, knowing these emotions will be met with compassion and understanding. As we support, comfort and encourage one another, we offer hope and healing. As we confront the deaths of our loved ones, our shared grief brings us to a common ground that transcends differences, building mutual understanding across the boundaries of culture, race, faith, values, abilities, and lifestyle. Together we celebrate the lives of our children, siblings, and grandchildren, sharing the joys and the heartbreaks as well as the love that will never fade. Together, strengthened by the bonds we create, we offer what we have learned from one another to every bereaved family, no matter how recent or long ago the death. We are the Bereaved Parents of the USA. We welcome you. |

We are not Our support group meetings are open to all bereaved parents, grandparents, siblings and are planned to be a source of comfort and support. Please regard this as a safe time and place to come and be with those who know that grief never disappears although it does lessen. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ BP/USA is designed to aid those who are struggling to survive their grief after the death of a child regardless of race, creed, economic status or the cause of death at any age. BP/USA works by providing the opportunity for grieving people to be with others, to share our small victories, to support each other during our setbacks, to tell our stores and to hear those of others. Our solutions to grief often are different just as our individual circumstances differ. But we are alike in seeking ways to overcome grief. The beauty is that members are there as visible proof that grieving people can adjust and that life, once again, can have meaning. |
