The Children’s Park of Tyler is a special place created to support families as they navigate the heart-wrenching journey of losing a child. We understand how isolating grief can feel. Our vision is that no one would grieve alone and our mission is to comfort those mourning the loss of a child as they process and find purpose through their grief. Here, you’ll find a caring community, support groups, memorial stones, and meaningful events designed to help you honor your child’s memory while processing your emotions. We invite you to join us in sharing your story, finding healing, and celebrating the love that will always remain.
Our support groups offer a safe space to share your feelings, gain insight, and find comfort in community as you navigate your grief.
From personalized engraved stones to a virtual remembrance wall, we provide meaningful ways to keep your child’s memory alive.
Join us for meaningful events, including our annual Day of Remembrance, where we gather to celebrate and remember our children.
