ONLINE COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The TAPS Online Community serves as a gathering place to meet fellow survivors, share your loved ones, and find support. Our chat sessions provide real time conversations, message boards and newsletters offer comments and information, while our peer group sites create a forum to connect with others sharing common bonds and relationships.

In the uncertain world, the TAPS Online Community is a haven of understanding and support. Grief can often leave us feeling isolated and we long to find others who can listen without judgment, offer support and provide the simple gesture of their presence. We warmly invite you to join with fellow survivors that make up the special TAPS family. Through this vital link, you are not alone!

“There are tears in my eyes as I write this and I know I continuously thank you.  Support is hard to come by and I can’t believe a stranger is there for me in the worst time of my life.” – TAPS Chat room participant
