I lost my beautiful 23 year old daughter, Keren, March 18, 2006. I know first hand how painful it is to lose a child. At first, I really didn't think I would survive and almost didn't. I needed help and reached out through the Internet to find other grieving parents, who would understand my pain and grief. I needed to know that I was not alone. At that time, I couldn't attend a grief group. I couldn't even leave my house, so for me, the computer was my only avenue for help. The help, which I recieved, made me want to give back by reaching out to other grieving parents.

As Co-Founder of  MCLG, my time is dedicated to many areas throughout the MCLG community. With high standards of hospitality, I both invite and welcome new members by aquainting them with our format. I serve as the MCLG Forum Global Moderator, offering assistance with new  registrations, personally welcoming each new  member, assisting them with photo uploads, profile set-up, private messages, and posting. I also do Phone support.

A single thread is easily broken, but when many are gathered together, they become stronger and can not be torn. Our sorrow  has brought us together, and this website has become a tapestry of love for us and others, who have lost their beautiful children. We know  they are still with us and that we will see them again one day. Through this capacity to love, we still live and our love will go on. We are survivors.

I want to honor my daughter always by having a safe place, where grieving parents can come, no matter what time of day or night to receive help. Because we know  the pain, we understand, and most of all, we care. Come walk this grief journey with us, and together we can and will survive.

Thank you,

Louise Lagerman
