Saturday is National Grief Awareness Day, recognized annually on August 30. It's a time to reflect on how we all cope with loss differently, and learn how to help yourself and others through the grieving process, no matter what type of loss you've been through.

If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, we offer The 12 Weeks of Peace, a free, online bereavement series available to everyone. https://www.nationalcremation.com/12-weeks-of-peace

“Living with the loss of a child is a never-ending journey. Finding help shouldn’t be a burden, too," said Rob Reider, cofounder and executive director of the Sad Dads Club, which supports dads who have endured death of a baby during pregnancy, labor or within the first few weeks after birth. The group also welcomes fathers who have lost children to sudden infant death syndrome and those who have lost older and even adult children.

After Brad Bailey buried his stillborn son, his wife encouraged him to join Sad Dads Club, a nonprofit with peer-to-peer community and support for bereaved fathers.
