“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.

Trident San Diego Funeral Director Cassandra Pimentel brought this sweet basket of goodies to Patricia and her assistant at Unity Church of El Cajon CA. Patricia thanked her, and asked if they could take some time to sit and talk about pre-planning, because she wants to make sure the burden doesn't fall to her family later.
We so enjoy connecting with folks in our community – and helping people like Patricia make decisions that are a great gift to the people they most love.
