Grief Support Companion
Grief Support Companion
A Grief Support Companion is a bereaved parent who is wanting to provide informal support and friendship to another more recently bereaved parent. It offers you and another parent an opportunity to share your grief and experiences together, to 'walk alongside' one another and in this way be a listening ear and an understanding 'friend'. Halos will initially get you connected and then the contact may be by phone, in person, email and/or FaceTime, whatever suits you both.

Our Breavement Boxes were created for families who lose a child between infancy and age 20 in the ER. They include items that families can use to create final memories with the help of hospital staff as well as items that will be helpful as soon as they leave the hospital. No family should have to leave the hospital empty handed after losing a child.
​
*These boxes are only provided at hospitals that carry them for us as most of the items in them are meant to be used before you have to leave your child.
