From Parent to Parent: Bereaved Parents Grief Support Group - 5 Week Session
2025-08-26 18:00 - 20:00 | CA
Coping With the Death of a Child Together and Embracing a Path to Healing
Facilitated by Daniel Hernandez, M.A. Clinical Thanatologist, LMHC
*This group will run every Tuesday starting August 26th until September 30th at 6pm.
It is said that the worst loss that individuals can encounter is the death of a child. This loss has a devastating impact on mothers and fathers. It often leaves a shattered world only to leave parents to assemble a new and unfamiliar life without the presence of their son or daughter. The aftermath of the death of a child can lead to a lonely and complex set of emotions and psychological questioning.
From Parent to Parent is a 5-week loss group experience focused on understanding the loss dynamics from the death of a child, including the process and personal barriers of the healing journey, the biology of bereavement, and finally, strategies for healthy coping.
Participants will complete weekly journals for review and feedback by the facilitator. In addition, the facilitator will lead group exercises that promote overcoming barriers for the healing journey.
From Parent to Parent is a closed group format that requires the completion of the 5-sessions. If you feel that you can benefit from this loss group experience, please contact email us at hello@togetherwehealcommunity.org and add “Parent to Parent” in the subject line.

This is a structured, facilitated circle that combines grounded physical practices, honest conversation, and relational support. It is specifically designed for male-identifying participants who may struggle to access more traditional grief support settings.

This is not therapy, and it’s not a lecture. Participants are invited into a safe, respectful space where they can engage grief directly—through the body, through presence, and through connection with other men. The aim is to reduce isolation, increase emotional regulation, and build resilience.

There is no charge for participating.
