Below are a few of our grief events that are held each year. We also invite you to visit our Events page to view our upcoming, future events or to learn more about the past events that we’ve held throughout the years.

Bereaved Mothers’ Day Luncheon

This casual bereaved mothers’ luncheon is sponsored by the Josh Rojas Foundation on the first Sunday in May, which is known as International Bereaved Mother’s Day. You are welcome to mingle, share, ask questions or simply spend time with other mothers who know exactly how you are feeling. Somehow just spending time with someone who truly understands, brings comfort, and acknowledges our continuing struggle to survive this loss. Bereaved mothers are asked to RSVP by a chosen date prior to the event. See our future events page for more details.

Fall Get-Together for Bereaved Mothers, Fathers, Their Significant Other or Friend

This casual Fall get-together is an informal gathering. You are welcome to mingle and share with other grieving parents who truly understand. Whether you wish to share, ask questions, or simply share a meal with others who know exactly how you are feeling, you are welcome. Somehow just spending time with someone who truly understands, brings comfort, and acknowledges our continuing struggle to survive this loss. More information will be posted here, later this summer.

Ceremony of Remembrance for our Children, Grandchildren, Siblings & Friends 

This soothing, non-denominational and spiritual observance has been held every December for the past several years in Pittsford, NY in conjunction with The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting© However, due to the pandemic, we held this ceremony via Zoom in December 2021. This observance has been sponsored by the Jeff Milano-Johnson Memorial Fund with the assistance of the Josh Rojas Foundation for several years. Families and friends who have experienced the death of a child, young adult, sibling, or grandchild are welcome. We find such solace attending and participating every year. The ceremony’s location will be changing this year as we transition to entirely sponsoring this event. Please visit our Future Events page on this site for specific details for this year's observance.
