At A Walk to Remember we are dedicated to ensuring that you and your family do not walk the path of infant loss alone. There are numerous grief support groups and bereavement services available both locally and nationally. Depending on you and your families’ needs each group/organization can provide different things. Though we are able to provide you with contact information for a variety of support organizations, and various other support services to help you, we are not medical professionals, we are not grief counselors, we are simply folks that have walked this path and want to ensure no one walks alone.
For further help in finding the support or service you need, please contact us at BereavementSupportServices@WalkToRemember.org.
Additionally, if you see any groups that are not listed here and should be, contact us at the email address listed above.
We hope that this information will help you as you walk this path.
