  • To the Newly Bereaved, we wish you patience - patience with yourselves in the painful weeks, months, even years ahead.
  • To the Bereaved Siblings, we wish you and your parents a new understanding to each other’s needs and the beginnings of good communication.
  • To Those Of You Who Are Single Parents, we wish you the inner resources we know you will need to cope, often alone, with your loss.
  • To Those Of You Who Are Plagued With Guilt, we wish you the reassurance that you did the very best you could under the circumstances and that your child knew that.
  • To Those Of You Who Have Suffered Multiple Losses, those who have experienced the death of more than one child, we wish you the endurance you will need to fight your way back to a meaningful life again.
  • To Those Of You Who Are Deeply Depressed, we wish you the first steps out of the "valley of the shadow."
  • To Those Experiencing Marital Difficulties after the death of your child, we wish you a special willingness and ability to communicate with each other.
  • To All the Fathers, we wish you the ability to express your grief, to move beyond society’s conditioning, to cry.
  • To Those With Few or No Memories Of Your Child, perhaps because you suffered through a stillbirth, a miscarriage, or infant death, we wish you the sure knowledge that your child is a person and THAT YOUR GRIEF IS REAL.
  • To Those Of You Who Have Experienced The Death of An Only Child or All Your Children, we offer you our eternal gratitude for serving as such an inspiration to the rest of us.
  • To Those Of You Unable To Cry, we wish you healing tears.
  • To Those Of You Who Are Tired, exhausted from grieving, we wish you the strength to face just one more hour, just one more day.
  • To All Others with Special Needs that we have not mentioned, we wish you the understanding you need and the assurance that you are loved.
