How COPE Foundation Can Help You

“After the loss of my daughter, Michelle, I didn’t think I would ever recover, ever survive the pain, ever live again. Over the past thirty-two years, I have rediscovered life again – a life that includes my daughter, Michelle, and a love that is forever”
– Lilly Julien, COPE Founder and President Emerita

Started by bereaved parents in 1999, COPE is a nonprofit grief and healing organization that supports and connects grieving individuals with others facing similar losses through professionally led support groups for parents, adult siblings, and young adults, healing workshops, a grief support phone line, a bereavement camp for children and parent/caregivers, and trainings for community partners.

Having experienced profound loss ourselves, COPE families understand the pain, frustration, and isolation those in mourning often experience. By providing practical resources and emotional support, we help grieving individuals find strength and hope in knowing they do not have to face this journey alone.
