Turning grief into hope for others

Michel and I met in 1994, and our life together was flowing along beautifully when we said our final “I love yous” before he left for Paris. After TWA Flight 800 crashed, everything stoppedmy life stood still. We had expected a separation of just days. Suddenly, it was forever.

Families gathered with counselors, clergy and the Red Cross. Michel’s body was still not found when that site closed, so I returned home without answers or support. Michel was the person I would have turned to at a time like this, but he was not there. I felt totally alone.

ACCESS is 100% dependent on charitable donations to provide our 24-hour hotline and website and to ensure that our grief mentors are trained and ready to respond at all times. We are so grateful to all of our generous donors who make ACCESS possible and we invite you to help support our mission so no one has to go through their unspeakable grief alone.
