Connect with Child Loss Parents
COPE - Connecting our personal experiences
Are you a loss parent who wants to be connected to another loss parent? COPE is a connection program, started by Danielle Schwartz who is also the founder of Love From Lydia. COPE matches new loss parents with other loss parents who have been on their grief journey for over a year. A 1-1 connection, COPE volunteers can help guide loss parents and help navigate them through their grief, on a personal level. Are you a loss parent who may be interested in being a COPE volunteer?
