SUPPORT

[Lucinda F. Boyd]

Grief does not just "go away" with time; you have to work through it. One of the most important things you can do is connect with a person or group with whom you can talk freely. One source of good listeners is the National Headquarters of Parents Of Murdered Children, Inc.^® The National Staff is available to listen and assist you with specific problems. They can assist you with helpful resources and put you in contact with someone who understands what you are experiencing.
