Memorial Day Special: Helping Those Navigating The Death Of A Service Member Or Veteran | Tragedy Assistance Program For Survivors Ep. 141
Manage episode 484894489 series 3404254
Memorial Day is a holiday to most, but a day of remembrance and mourning for others. In this episode, you’ll hear how TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) supports families through every stage of grief — meeting them with compassion, honoring every story, and making sure no one has to grieve alone.
Vice President of Development Audrey B. shares how one phone call to TAPS became the first step in her journey toward healing as a young military widow. She opens up about the grief that followed, and how the organization’s peer support helped her rebuild her life.
We also talk about TAPS’ national and global reach, including the annual National Military Survivor Seminar and children’s Good Grief Camp happening this weekend in DC. Tune in to learn more about their programs, resources, and how you can support survivors in the military and veteran community!
