Empowering parents on the journey through grief.
Parent Collective is committed to helping parents heal from the pain of child loss.
We understand the impossible toll the death of a child can have on a family. Parents are the foundation of the family system, and if they aren’t supported in healing, how can they support their own families in doing so? Parent Collective is committed to helping parents heal, and supporting them in not only going through terrible loss, but growing through it, becoming more self-actualized and empowered versions of themselves.
Our Grief Healing Collective plans and organizes numerous healing and community meet-ups, retreats and events every year, each one offering scholarships as possible to parents without the means. They are all organized and led by Dr. Laura Berman, founder of Parent Collective and therapist of 30 years. She intimately understands the pain of child loss herself, and brings together a collection of amazing healers and teachers to support her efforts.
The Goals of Our Healing Events and Activities
To teach parents the tools and techniques for authentic and sustainable healing and help them see light at the end of the dark tunnel of grief.
To connect parents with a sacred community of other parents who intimately understand their pain and who can walk the path of healing alongside them.
To help parents discover how to have a continued relationship with their angel(s) on the other side, because the energy of which we are made can’t be created or destroyed and love never dies.
