From Regina’s Desk
This feature includes selected corre-
spondence into and out of our email
box, our mailbox, and voicemail. We
are delighted to share moments of
gratitude, outreach, and connection.
Regina/ Sadie Rose Foundation,
You and the SRF have provided me
and my daughter with a place to
begin the healing process after the loss of my
grandson. Thru all that the SRF does for par-
ents and family's when a child passes away, I
can not begin to express how much this has
helped us, or how thankful I am for your organi-
zation. We have become active in the SRF and
thru this I personally have found even more
healing. I honestly believe without the SRF I
would still be waking up in the mornings and
wishing I had not. I would still be going to bed
at night and praying that morning never came.
My daughter and I have both found that the
people we meet along this path thru the SRF
understand that some days even now almost 4
years later just the mention of Shawn's name or
the thought of what he did not get
to do is crippling. Now when those
days happen instead of feeling like
we have lost our minds we know
from all that you do that we are
just as sane as we were before
Shawn's death, just learning a
new way to live our lives, we look
to you and the SRF for support
and comfort on the days that Shawn's passing is
to hard to think about and share what we have
gotten from you and SRF emotionally with oth-
ers who have lost a child. To all the wonderful
people who help support the SRF thank you,
without your support SRF could not exist and
this group of amazing people who give so much
of themselves emotionally to people whose emo-
tions are so raw and whose hearts are so broken
the thought that they still beat is almost impos-
sible to comprehend. Please know that what you
give to the SRF is given out a million times over
in the support and comfort give to parents,
grandparents and family’s of a child who has
passed away.

I found this poem at
www.myforeverchild.com and wanted to share
it with you. It was listed under a section titled,
“For Friends and Relatives.”
The Elephant In The Room
There`s an elephant in the room.
It is large and squatting,
so it is hard to get around it.
Yet, we squeeze by with,
"how are you" and "I`m fine..."
and a thousand other forms of trivial
chatter.
we talk about everything else
except the elephant in the room.
We all know it`s there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we
talk.
It is constantly on our minds.
For you see, it is a very big elephant.
But we do not talk about
the elephant in the room.
Oh, please, somebody say my child`s
name
Oh, please, say it again
Oh, please, let`s talk about the elephant
in the room.
For if we talk about their death,
perhaps we can talk about their life.
Can I say their name...
and not have you look away?
For if I cannot,
you are leaving me alone...
In a room...
with an elephant.

One of the gifts of our support meeting is
that they are a place of safe sharing and mutu-
al respect and understanding. We often discuss
how meaningful it is to talk freely about our
children we are missing and how beautiful
their names sound when someone asks us
about them.
This is a meaningful way for friends and
family to offer support as well.
“...because the path of grief after losing a
child should never be walked alone.”

The Compassionate Friends

This conference is invaluable
to grandparents, parents, and
siblings grieving the death of
a child of any age. “Chicago,
Illinois, will be the site of the
37th TCF National Conference
on July 11-13, 2014. "Miles of
Compassion through The
Winds of Hope" is the theme
of this year's event.’” There
are workshops and events for
everyone. “Early registration
for the conference will be
$90.00 for Adults, $40.00 for
Children (9-17), and $40.00 for
Full-Time College Students.”
The Compassionate Friends is
a wonderful international or-
ganization “committed to help-
ing every bereaved parent,
sibling, or grandparent who
may walk through our doors
or contact us.” Visit their
w e b s i t e a t
www.compassionatefriends.or
g for more information or to
register for the conference.

Friends website are in quotation marks.
Have you considered attending one of our support group meetings? We know that
taking that first step can be the hardest. Consider asking a friend or family member
to come with you. Another way to lesson the anxiety of showing up for the first time
is to connect with people online in our “Additional Support” section below or on our
online support chat. With the exception of our Miscarriage Support Group, our
groups are open to those who have lost a child of any age. All our meetings will be
held at 206 Main Street Dayton, VA 22821. Parking along the street out front and
around back. Please let us know how we can best support you on your grief journey.

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we
can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we
trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” ― Fred Rogers
