Grief Resources

Loss of a child

Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably the most searing is the loss of a child. A parent’s world irrevocably and horrifically changes forever. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we struggle through this horrendous journey of grief
every day.

The Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents provides an opportunity for you to take time out of your busy schedule to focus on your personal spiritual journey in dealing with the death of your child.

Emmaus Parent Companions believe that “It is in consoling that we are consoled.” Emmaus Retreat Team Companions—comprised of priests, deacons, religious, pastoral associates, and spiritual directors—believe that this ministry serves a vital, unmet need. Visit: https://www.emfgp.org/program-overview/
