Immanuel understands that the loss of any human life is very painful, especially that of a child. The loss of a loved one can cause many different emotions in the lives of those left behind. That is why the Cradle Ministry of Immanuel is reaching out to you or your family with attempt to minister to you during your loss. Having lost my daughter Kylie Elizabeth to stillbirth in October 2005, I understand the tremendous pain, hurt, anger, and emotions that are associated with the loss of a child.

Every loss is unique and personal, and will not be the same for any one person. Our desire is to help you and your family understand the various stages of grief, provide you with resources and direction to help you through your grieving process, and to provide you with a memory basket that I have called the, Kylie Kare Basket, in memory of my daughter. In it, you will find some resources, that helped and continue to help my wife Kristi and I.

We also invite you to attend a free Grief Support Group offered through Loma Linda University, called Always in My Heart; Support for parents who have lost a baby. This support group meets on the second Monday of each month from 7:00-8:30pm.  The group meets at the East Campus building located on Loma Linda Drive. For information or directions, please call Brent at 425-1777. If you don’t want to take this step by yourself, my wife and I would be happy to go with you.

We want to be a resource and help for you during your time of grief, so please do not hesitate to call or email me at the address below.
