I don't know if you are asking for yourself or someone else.My sincere sympathies are with anyone who is in this situation. I am certain your child's physician or the social worker at the hospital could direct you to a group that could help you. They could also assist you services available so you can spend time with your child and to help you and your family through this most difficult of times. They may be able to put you in touch with hospice services in your area.There are many caring people who will help you face each day.You will be able to find support from other parents who are probably feeling alone and at a loss for dealing with this. My prayers are with you all.

I would check into the web page for the disease the child has been diagnosed with. Most have local chapters and through there you can get set up with a support group. Also, your local hospice or hospital is a good resource for a group. If the family has been set up with a home health agency they are also a good resource.

Not sure. As others have said, check with your local social services agencies and medical groups. I know that my friend who had a baby with a rare genetic disease was connected up with other famlies who had lost their children with the same disease... that helped them. AFTER the child died they found fine support with other grieving parents through the Compassionate Friends society. Only other grieiving parents understand, really.

Call 211, they are a clearing house of all types of social service information. Also, call the United Way, the Red Cross, Lutheran Family Services, Catholic Charities, and Jewish Family Services. You do not need to be Catholic, Lutheran or Jewish to make use of the services offered by these groups.

This site may have support on there that could help. Talking with parents who are working through the pain and have experienced what you are going through may give you some comfort.

Please ask the doctors for a social worker consultation. I'm surprised the hospital has not already given such referrals and support. Make a Wish Foundation should also know some good resources. Contact them. God bless you and the child.

despite your community loose paper is like we've a horse dealer, willow tree or pennysaver (all loose to %. up yet no longer loose to sell) and positioned an advert of the place and while ( perhaps a church or your place) have coffee and little debbies, and tissues waiting. Then pass, week one will possibly no longer convey all people yet as human beings word extra will come.

What a question to ask. I hope you find the support you're looking for. Church is a great place to go for faith and friendship.
