Just Enduring, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families who have experienced the loss of a child, is observing Child Loss Awareness Month this October. Co-founders Ben and Lara Gillham, along with Co-founders Nick and Martha McGeehon, started the organization after the heartbreaking loss of their infants to ensure other bereaved parents have the immediate resources and support they need to navigate their grief journeys.
"Child Loss Awareness month is an important time to reflect and remember all the children who've left their families too soon," said Ben Gillham, Co-founder and President of Just Enduring. "We hope that grieving parents, family, friends, and caregivers who must endure the loss of a child can feel supported with the resources that Just Enduring offers, particularly as we head into the holiday season."
