Friends Along the Road - Sanctuary for Those in Grief

Friends Along the Road - Sanctuary for Those in Grief A safe place in which to share feelings about death, grief, and life. David and Judy founded FAR after the death of Lilli, their only child.

They needed space and time in which to grieve without being pressured to "get over" Lilli's death, and conceived the idea of bereavement sanctuaries. While planning permanent sanctuaries, they implemented Sanctuary Anywhere - temporary safe zones in which people might feel comfortable enough to simply grieve. FAR members practice unconditional positive regard and try to be nonjudgmental about the myriad ways of grieving.

General information

Sometimes, the best way to help those in grief is to simply be supportive of their experiences. We can try to love them unconditionally and provide for them as best we are able: help them get dressed, go to the bathroom, eat, and make it through each day. We can provide the conditions in which they may actually have experiences of grief. And maybe, with time, space, comfort, and safety, they'll look closer at death and this odyssey called physical life. Maybe they will find reasons for living.
