You may feel alone,
but together we are not.
Supporting bereaved parents whose only child, or all their children, are deceased.
Welcome to the Alive Alone Website
We are sorry that you are here, but please know this is a place for support in your grief. Alive Alone is an all volunteer organization. We do not use any paid staff. The membership fee goes to the cost of the mailed magazine, the operation and maintenance of this website, and our Zoom licenses for offering online support.
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel lucky to have seen it at all.
Welcome to Alive Alone
Alive Alone is an organization for education and charitable purposes to benefit bereaved parents, whose only child or all children are deceased, by providing a self-help network and publications to promote communication and healing, to assist in resolving their grief, and a means to reinvest their lives for a positive future.

A hardcopy magazine sent to all members

Newsletter to Magazine
Since the beginning of Alive Alone, Kay and Rodney published a newsletter by and for members. All of the content was original material that told the story of our beloved children. The two of them did all of the production work themselves to include the folding, addressing, and labeling. Beginning in 2025 the responsibility for the newsletter was transferred to others, with many more hands involved. Kay remained part of the production team and guided us as we learned the ropes, as well as proofreading each and every word! In 2026 Alive Alone moved from a newsletter printed on plain paper to a professionally designed glossy magazine. The reason behind this change was to provide a higher quality platform for telling our children’s stories, and to improve the quality of the photographs. Following the first issue we brought a graphic artist onboard to provide a cohesive flow to the magazine, and to further enhance the ability for our members to talk about their child/children. We publish the magazine four times a year, and we welcome your articles. Volunteers help with editing and organization, before turning the materials over to the graphic designer for layout. Please email magazine@alivealone.org for more information.
