Healing through hope
Support for bereaved parents
Welcome to Ian’s Place
Our Mission
Ian’s Place exists to help bereaved parents find a place for comfort and healing in a Christian environment. Our mission is to support newly bereaved parents as well as those who have grieved the loss of a child for years.
We are here to pray, listen, talk and cry with each other for as long as it takes to find healing through hope for the future.
We Meet Bereaved Parents Where They Are
We Are Here to Listen
We want to meet you where you are on your journey.
We've Been Where You Are
You may not believe you will walk back into the light, but we can walk with you.
Healing Through Hope
With faith, love, and support you will find yourself healing through this journey.
We are not professional counselors or licensed therapists.
We are bereaved parents like you offering support.
We aim to help those who need to grieve in a safe space, with people who have experienced the loss of their child.
Dear Friend,
We know the dark place you are in right now. We’ve been there and at times, we find ourselves there again. You may not believe you will walk back into the light and laugh or find joy. But with hope, love, and support, you will.
Signed,
Rebecca & Andy Wells
