SGM is open to anyone, anywhere who is interested in learning more about providing compassionate, parent-centered support to grieving parents and familiesWalking with a family whose baby’s life is expected to be brief, entering into the sacred place where heaven meets earth as they say hello and goodbye to their child, it is a gift most meaningful, and we take this privilege very seriously at Sufficient Grace Ministries. Because every life matters, we want each family to know they are not walking this path alone. We strive to provide 24-hour availability of quality support from well-trained professionals. Our SGM Comfort Team Volunteers commit to 12-hour on call shifts where they may or may not receive a call. All active volunteers must sign up to serve at minimum one day a month. The most important quality we are looking for in our comfort team volunteers is a heart of compassion and understanding for those who are grieving the loss of a child. Our volunteers are not there to try to fix or try to find the right answer. We are simply there to come alongside as companions walking this path together.You do not have to be a professional to be a volunteer for SGM!Organizations or individuals who would like to become a SGM AffiliateAnyone who is interested in offering compassionate, parent-centered support to grieving familiesNurses - (Approved for CEUs through the Ohio Nurses Association)Social WorkersChaplainsComfort Doulas, Remembrance Photographers, and all perinatal hospice support staff will be expected to:Come alongside grieving parents in various settings: in person, on the telephone, online, at a hospital, birthing center, in a doctor’s office, and at the SGM officeUnderstand and adher
