The loss of a child is the most devastating experience a parent can face and missing your child never goes away. A piece of yourself is lost and your future is forever changed. Parents feel alone and isolated in their grief, as friends and relatives are often at a loss as to what to say. But it is important to talk to people who understand the loss. That is where the Grieving Parents Support Group may be able to help - this is an informal group, a safe haven.
This group is free and open to the public, not just Sayreville residents. Registration here is suggested so that we may contact you in the event of weather cancellations.
