To say that the death of a child is a life changing grief event is a complete and total understatement. No one can fully understand the impact of such a loss if they have never had to deal with it. It is often said, “our children are our future.” When a child dies, we are robbed of the future that we envisioned and the loss can be overwhelming beyond what we ever imagined possible. Even if the child never came to term or died shortly after birth.
A relationship with a child starts the moment you find out about him or her, which is often before you actually "meet".
Our founder John, like many other parents, was so devastated by his infant son’s death that he was not sure that life still had any meaning for him. The only thing, in that moment, that gave him reason to live was that he had a wife and daughter who depended on him. Despite that, he found that it was hard to function due to the emotional pain he was experiencing. He looked for tools to assist him on that journey, but found none that really helped. He has since said that the only truly brilliant thing he ever did in life was to keep notes on any steps he took that seemed to make a positive difference. Those notes eventually became the Grief Recovery Method.
