    For Families Surviving Child Loss

Surviving Child Loss

It takes a village to raise a child- it also takes a village to bury one.

About Us

No one ever wants to be in the child loss “club”, and those who find themselves in a club they never bargained for can feel lost, alone, and scared.  Madeline’s Mission works to offer hope, comfort and guidance during the unfathomable life following  the loss of a child– both directly after the loss and in the lifetime to follow.

In the same way that a doula would help a mother through childbirth, Madeline’s Mission helps to serve as a navigational resource for parents, guardians, siblings and immediate families experiencing child loss.

Mission and Philosophy

Mission: Madeline’s Mission seeks to provide a path toward wellness, healing, and hope for families surviving child loss.

Philosophy: Madeline’s Mission believes that no one should have to go through the grief journey alone.

Madeline’s Mission strives to provide compassionate, individualized services and connection to local resources enabling people to get the healing supports that they may desire following a loss.

No matter in what way a child has been lost or is anticipated to be lost, Madeline’s Mission stands alongside to support families through that process from the time they identify the need; regardless of the circumstances of the loss.

Madeline’s Mission is a 501(c)3 nonprofit located in Maine, USA. Madeline’s Mission encourages any grieving family to reach out, but can best provide resources in the greater Midcoast Maine area.  Where possible, Madeline’s Mission may help connect a grieving family with resources closer to their geographic area where needed.
