Testimonials
“This community has helped me do what I thought was impossible: begin to heal. Slowly, gently, with the support of everyone here, my suffering began to soften. I learned how to carry my grief while reconstructing a life around it; one that includes self-compassion, purpose, and meaning.”
– Adult Participant
“What I like about Jeff’s Place is the pizza, friends, and people who understand the sadness.”
– Child Participant
“I give to Jeff’s Place because I’ve seen firsthand how deeply impactful their work is. Every dollar goes toward providing compassionate, hands-on support for grieving families. Having personally benefited from these amazing services, I want to ensure others can experience the same care and comfort.”
– Donor
“After a few sessions, our caregiver group became a place where we could look around and see parents who had been doing this impossible thing for a year or two or more—people who knew the challenge and could cheer us on as we faced it. Now, two years in, our time at Jeff’s Place is time with friends, both for the trio and for us. Friends to grieve with and share challenges, but also to laugh with and to share joys. Friends we can talk to about our kids, both the living ones and the ones who died.”
