Adult Sibling Grief  This site is dedicated to the formation of a support community for those who have suffered the devastating loss of an adult sibling. Although the subjects of death, dying, and grief are more widely discussed now than in years past, the subject of adult sibling grief has been largely ignored by the grief support community, leaving surviving adult siblings to endure their grief in silence.

Beareavement Online Support Group  A community of patients, family members and friends dedicated to dealing with Bereavement, together.

Child Bereavement  This site was created in memory of Dee Hyde's son, Daniel, who tragically died in a car accident on 1 May 2003. This beautiful site is a place were you can talk and remember your child. There will be free help there for anyone who wants help to build a web page for their child. Someone who will listen. And hopefully a trust fund set up to help those who need extra help in terrible time they are going through.

GROWW  Grief Recovery Online For All Bereaved.

Healing Hearts for Bereaved Parents   HEALING HEARTS for Bereaved Parents is dedicated to providing grief support and services to parents who are suffering as the result of the loss of their child or children. The volunteers at HEALING HEARTS are there to help. They have known the pain that the death of a child brings. They have struggled with and worked on their grief and finally have made peace with that sorrow.

Their purpose is to offer understanding, suggestions for coping, support, friendship, and most of all hope to all bereaved parents. Parents who have lost a child as a result of miscarriage or stillbirth are equally welcome as those who have lost children to illness, accident or violence.

The Bereavement Journey  The Bereavement Journey is a place where anyone who has lost a loved one can find support.   As you travel on your bereavement journey we are here to help you every step of the way. Our promise to you is that the pain diminishes and you will one day find pleasure in life, although nothing can compare to the happiness that you had when your loved one was still alive. You will always love and miss your loved one until you meet them again. Until that time comes, may you find the support you need here.

The Compassionate Friends  The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is an organisation of bereaved parents and their families offering understanding, support and encouragement to others after the death of a child or children. We also offer support, advice and information to other relatives, friends and professionals who are helping the family.
