Short excerpt from a YouTube Q&A (April 3, 2011) in which David Kessler answers the question “What support is available to parents who have lost a child?” He highlights existing grief resources: organizations (example: the Ms. Foundation), family-oriented bereavement camps with parallel child/adult tracks, and local hospices as referral sources; he notes these resources can also be found online.

What support is available to parents who have lost a child?
There's wonderful resources out there now for parents who have lost a child. There's great organizations like the Ms. Foundation. There's a number of organizations that have simultaneous camps where you go to the camp with your family and your children go in one track where they're dealing with a loss at their age level, and you're also dealing with the loss and the grief as an adult. So those are wonderful to explore, and your local hospice can tell you about them or they're easily found on the Internet.
