A Message from the Founder
TEARS is an organization established in honor of my son, Ken (12/6/93 – 9/23/18). I established this organization to support grieving families across the nation who have lost a child due to bullying, drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness, suicide, traffic accidents, domestic violence, sexual assault, gun violence, and for other reasons.
Losing a child is never easy and the grief seems endless. You are not alone. TEARS provides grieving families with a safe, non-judgmental place to begin and continue their healing process.
I hope that our organization will be able to help you on your healing journey.
