We meet twice a month in Raleigh to share and give support. If you have any questions or just want to talk, please call us at 833-4022. There is always a bereaved parent on call to talk with you.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
