Parent Testimonials

“It worked out great, because it helped me just as much as it did Max. I think she’d be happy that I brought Max here, and that I came. I was very hard and numb, but this place softened me up. She’ll always be missed…its been almost four years. That’s one thing I learned down here: There’s no time table for grief, everybody’s different.”

“Lost and Found is about remembering.  And too many times in the grieving process you bury and cover up because its too painful, and what Lost and Found facilitates for you is to learn and remember and survive remembering. “

"Lost & Found has made all the difference in the world At least for the time we spend at Lost & Found the kids feel normal again"

“You have the freedom to come and enter in, in your own comfort level.  Your kids are a great excuse to come and get help.”

“The thing about L&F is that outside of these walls you get a lot of sympathy, but inside these walls you get empathy.”

"I have been bringing my two boys (ages 9 and 10) to Lost & Found for eleven months, since the death of their dad.  At first they resisted coming here because they thought it would be too uncomfortable and sad.  Now they ask how long until the next time we can go to Lost & Found, and when we pull in the parking lot they dash in to see their friends and get started in the group.  It is now a very comfortable place for them to be because they are accepted and understood...It is difficult enough just navigating childhood without this sort of obstacle, and Lost & Found is helping me and my children find a path through this minefield."
