You may feel alone,
but together we are not.
Supporting bereaved parents whose only child, or all their children, are deceased.
Welcome to the new Alive Alone Website!
After many weeks of work we have transitioned the website to a new hosting platform that will allow us to securely expand our online support to bereaved parents suffering from the death of an only child or of all their children. The members only sections are still under development so please bear with us as we continue to work on this project. An email will go out to all current website members once the new pages are available.
We would like to acknowledge the work Elizabeth put into developing and maintaining the previous site in memory of Solomon. Alive Alone’s outreach was greatly improved by her efforts.
Alive Alone hosted a successful series of workshops at the Bereaved Parents USA Gathering in July specifically for those who have suffered the death of an only child, or all their children.
We also met as a group to discuss ways to improve our efforts for next year. We made a presentation to the board of Alive Alone with recommendations received from Gathering attendees as well as from communications received from members over the past year. The board is studying ways to implement improvements and expand our ability to serve the members. Please email Kay at alivalon@bright.net or Roger at alivealone.web@gmail.com with comments or suggestions.
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.
