NORWICH – An area support group for parents who have lost a child has been formed in an effort to give people who have experienced such a loss a place to interact with others who share a similar journey of mourning.

There is no possible way to prepare for losing a child to accidental death or illness. When the death of a child occurs – regardless of the circumstances – parents are left grieving, and often without a clear, attainable path as to how they can move forward.

The support group is inviting parents who have lost children recently, or even decades ago, to visit the group which strives to provide a safe place for parents to share stories and comfort.
