Also in this issue...

   In 1980, Rhonda, a fifteen year old girl died. Left to mourn her death were her parents. Alone. With no surviving children. In the next issue of the Journeys Through Grief newsletter, you will meet Rhonda’s mother and learn how she and her husband embarked on their journey to create an organization to help other bereaved parents who have no surviving children. A loving tribute to their precious daughter.
    The Gifts and Talents section will highlight the personal lives of John and Susie Grimes. Our book review is the Bereaved Parent. I have also listed several other books and websites of interest. A young lady shares her very personal story about miscarriage. Jim Carpenter, chaplain with our local Peterson Hospice, has written a very moving article about the death of his son by suicide. If you are a bereaved parent, please read about A Safe Place; a weekend retreat to be held in the Fall of this year in the beautiful Texas Hill country. 
   The May/June issue is devoted to bereaved parents and their families. It is filled with personal stories written by parents who want to help others like themselves. If you are a grieving parent or know someone who is, I encourage you to bookmark this page. This very special issue will be available May 1st. You may read it at journeysthrugrief.blogspot.com.
