Our Credo
We are the parents whose children have died. We are the grandparents
who have buried grandchildren. We are the siblings whose brothers and
sisters no longer walk with us through life.We come together as Bereaved Parents of the USA to provide a haven
where all bereaved families can meet and share our long and arduous grief
journeys. We attend monthly gatherings whenever we can and for as long
as we believe necessary. We share our fears, confusion, anger, guilt,
frustrations, emptiness and feelings of hopelessness so that hope can be
found anew.As we accept, support, comfort and encourage each other, we demonstrate
to each other that survival is possible. Together we celebrate the lives of
our children, share the joys and triumphs as well as the love that will never
fade.Together we learn how little it matters where we live, what our color or
our affluence is or what faith we uphold as we confront the tragedies of
our children's deaths. Together, strengthened by the bonds we forge at our
gatherings, we offer what we have learned to each other and to every more
recently bereaved family.We are the Bereaved Parents of the USA.
We welcome you!
