You Are Not Alone in This Journey

Grief is a journey, not a moment — and it shouldn’t be walked alone. Our peer support programs connect families who understand, in safe, gentle spaces filled with compassion and care.

Precious Wings Ongoing Support

At Precious Wings, we provide a compassionate and understanding community where bereaved parents can connect with others who have walked a similar path. Sharing your child’s story, speaking their name, and honouring their memory in a supportive space can bring comfort, connection, and a sense of hope when it feels impossible to find.

We welcome parents at every stage of their grief journey, offering a space where they can feel supported, heard, and understood.

Finding Comfort Through Connection

Monthly Support Groups

Our monthly support groups, held at our headquarters in Windsor offer a safe and supportive environment to connect, share, and create.

Precious Mums

Precious Mums is a peer support program created for bereaved mothers — a space to come together, connect, and do something just for you.

Precious Lads

Precious Lads is a space designed just for dads—a chance to connect, have fun, and just be, in a social,

unstructured, and safe environment with others who truly understand.

Online Communities

We offer a private Facebook group where bereaved parents can connect with others who understand. You’re also welcome to share who your memory box was given in honour of, keeping their memory alive within our community.

Everyone is Welcome Here

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline — and neither does support. At Precious Wings, our peer support programs are open to anyone navigating the loss of a child, no matter how long it’s been or what your journey looks like. Whether you’re just beginning this path or years along, you’ll find compassion, understanding, and connection.

Parents who have experienced the loss of a child of any age, from any cause
Siblings of all ages who want a space to connect
Grandparents and extended family seeking understanding
Those recently bereaved and those many years into their grief journey
Anyone needing gentle support, connection, or space to share

“We've all experienced the 'first time' coming to a support group and there is no way to sugar coat it.... it's tough. But you are tougher and will leave feeling supported and heard.”
