When a family loses a loved one to suicide, many times the communities that care about them are at a loss of what to say or do. What is often needed most is an embrace of care during this very challenging time. Often, families feel alone in their grief as they try to make sense out of the unimaginable.
The purpose of the iCare Packages are to let families know a community exists that is there to support them.
Our iCare Packages contain resources: books to assist the bereaved and lists of support groups and other organizations that exist to help people through this very difficult crisis.
Generous authors and publishers donated or significantly discounted the books to support this effort. Because this project is in part dependent on these contributions, the contents of the packages may vary slightly over time.
In addition, the kind people who support the Carson J Spencer Foundation, www.CarsonJSpencer.org, have donated these iCare Packages to Colorado Families for a limited time. If you know of a Colorado family who has lost a loved one to suicide, complete the order form as indicated and your gift will be shipped within two weeks free of charge (however, we would graciously accept any donation you might be able to offer). For those who would like to support families outside of Colorado, we ask for a small fee of $50, which allows us to sustain this project over the long haul and cover our shipping and handling costs.
