Marian Sedna’s Mom

Peer Mentor

Abigail Wallace

I am a Griffin Cares volunteer because I find this work connects me to my first daughter. I simply have to be in a space where she is seen, where she matters, where she continues to exist. It will always be painful, for all of us who have unexpectedly joined this grief club, but together we can find our joy and peace within it.

My Home State: Virginia

My Remembrance Dates:

Support a peer who is new to grief

The Griffin Cares Peer Mentor Program is open to bereaved parents who have lived with loss for at least one year and feel that they are in a place in their grief journey where they can support someone else. Birthing parents and non-birthing partners are welcome to participate. All mentors must complete a training program and meet with our Peer Mentor Team prior to taking on a mentee. Ongoing support for mentors is provided.
