FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES
Family support is a vital extension of the care provided through Harriett’s Daughters. When a mother is living with an end-stage cancer diagnosis or has died from cancer, grief affects the entire family system. Our family support services are designed to meet families during these moments of transition, offering practical resources, emotional support, and opportunities for connection.
What Family Support
May Include
-
Supportive gatherings and experiences that create space for connection, remembrance, and shared meaning
-
Resources and referrals for grief counseling, family counseling, and caregiver support
-
Opportunities for parent–child bonding during times of anticipatory grief or after loss
-
Community-based initiatives that acknowledge difficult milestones and holidays
-
Support for caregivers, including surviving parents and guardians, navigating grief and parenting after loss
Examples of Family Support Initiatives
Over the years, family support initiatives have included remembrance-based efforts such as Mother’s Day Baskets for girls grieving the loss of their mother, as well as community meetups designed to support fathers and caregivers navigating life after loss. These offerings evolve based on community needs, seasonal moments, and available resources.
How Family Support Fits
Family support services are offered as part of Harriett’s Daughters’ broader continuum of care. While mentoring remains the cornerstone of our work, family support extends care to the family system, helping ensure that girls are surrounded by stability, understanding, and meaningful resources beyond the mentoring relationship alone.
