A Parent Like You

Connecting Bereaved Parents Together

Grief is personal — but you don’t have to walk through it alone.

A Parent Like You is more than a program; it’s a growing community of parents who have experienced the unimaginable — the loss of a child. While each journey is different, there’s deep comfort in connecting with others who truly understand what you’re going through. A community of parents who have been where you are now.

There are many ways to find connection and support through the Just Enduring community:

Whether you’re newly grieving or years down the path, A Parent Like You offers understanding, grace, and shared strength. 

“It has been so helpful having someone who completely understands all the pain and suffering and hard situations … just allowing me to say what is in my heart and head and know that she has been there before as well.”

Moira, Daniel’s Mom (A Parent Like You participant)
