When our child dies, we may have many reasons to stick around but none of them seem to matter. We cannot imagine being here for any length of time without our child here with us. Most of us are not suicidal, we just don't want to be here anymore and would be fine with something happening that would take us out of here to go be with our child.

Laura has experienced this same thing, when her daughter, Becca, died and talks about what it was like both then and now, almost twelve years later.

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here to walk with parents through the darkness of child-loss, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose.

It is a safe place for anyone who has lost a child from this earth. There is no shame or judgment in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.
