"When a child dies..." This phrase makes us gasp. Yet, these words are the essence of KinderMourn. Children do die and parents often find themselves in the depths of despair... helpless, hopeless, and often isolated.
Established in 1978, KinderMourn addresses the special needs of grieving parents. Its fundamental purpose, firmly incorporated by the founding Board of Directors, remains true today: "KinderMourn exists to provide a safe haven for families whose lives have been shattered by the death of a child."
All grieving parents are eligible for services regardless of the age of their child or the cause of their child's death.
In addition to services for bereaved parents, KinderMourn assists children and young people who are grieving the death of a family member or friend. KinderMourn's professional grief facilitators provide individual and group counseling at the KM Home, in designated schools and neighborhood community centers.
KinderMourn has a special place in our community. KinderMourn is comfort, understanding, and hope.
"KinderMourn provides a way to honor memories while rediscovering life, hope and courage."
Mission Statement
To provide a program of professionally guided support groups, counseling services and community outreach programs for families experiencing the death of a child and children grieving the death of a family member or friend.
