What it is ::Smile Again Ministries wants to help families deal with the grief of losing a child. For the past ten years SAM has helped several mothers and fathers cope with their grief. Now SAM is going to open a retreat center for grieving families. This will be a safe place to deal with their shattered emotions. A place where healing can begin.

There isn’t a more chilling moment in a parent’s life then when their doorbell rings after midnight and they open the door to see two police officers and a chaplain standing on their front steps.

Every year thousands and thousands of parents in America experience the loss of a child. In fact, 55,000 children die each year in America. Some will die of injuries from accidents. Others will die of SIDS, childhood diseases, and suicide.

Smile Again Ministries is taking steps to help parents deal with the loss of a child by opening a retreat center where families can come together and talk about the incredible grief such a loss leaves in their lives.

How you can help ::
Their biggest need is really financial assistance in getting this lodge built as well as your prayers.
