If you know a grieving parent, don't be afraid to say their child's name. Many worry that mentioning a child who has died will cause pain. Parents appreciate knowing their child is remembered. Remembering doesn't increase grief; it brings comfort, connection, and healing.

Share a story. Mention a favorite memory. Say their name.

July is Bereaved Parents Awareness Month. Throughout the month, we'll be sharing resources for parents grieving the loss of a child, along with simple ways friends and loved ones can offer meaningful support. To all parents carrying love and loss, we’re thinking of you now and always.

Caregiver Reminder - You don’t have to have the perfect words.

Sitting with your child, listening, or simply being present can mean more than anything you could say. Showing up is enough.

Days like today can bring up a lot of different feelings.

Some kids are celebrating.
Some are remembering.
Some are feeling unsure of what today means for them.

Whatever your child is feeling, it’s okay.
