Child Bereavement Support (Singapore) is run by bereaved parents for bereaved parents.

We are a network of bereaved parents who have all found that meeting other bereaved parents is what has made the biggest difference to us, and given us the most support, the most hope and the most comfort.

People grieve in very different ways but what we have learned through our own experience is that the value of parent to parent support is enormous.

We started in April 2004 as 5 bereaved mothers who realized the need for a support group in Singapore and so CBS was born. Our experiences were very different but we shared an important bond. Along the way we have met many other bereaved parents, from a variety of racial, religious and cultural backgrounds.

We are united in our sorrow,  pain and yearning for our children AND in our desire to help each other by sharing our different experiences as we struggle along our individual journeys of grief.

As an independent, parent-to-parent organization, one of CBS’ main objectives is to provide support and friendship to bereaved parents through a ‘befriending’ network, regular support meetings and planned events.  In addition, at our official launch in March 2005 we published our first book, Farewell, My Child, a collection of stories of our lost children with chapters on how to cope and how to lend support which is available for free to all bereaved parents in Singapore.
