Bereavement Support Group

Candlelighters is here for families throughout the journey of childhood cancer, and that includes a consistent, safe space of support for those who have lost a child to pediatric cancer. Meeting and getting to know other families experiencing the same kind of grief offers strength and healing through community. Bereaved parents and caregivers have a dedicated bereavement support group. We meet online the third Tuesday of each month at 5:45 p.m.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, February 21, 2022 at 6:45 p.m. via Zoom.

Please join us to connect with other families and talk about different monthly topics.

RSVP for the next meeting here.

Our vision for fostering transformational, lifelong relationships begins with supporting the entire family as they face childhood cancer together—from diagnosis through treatment and beyond—and embracing them into a community that understands what they’re going through.

No matter where you are in your journey, we are here for and with you.
