In 1993 a group of seven bereaved grandparents, understanding their own unique grief - not just for the grandchild, but also for the child that has suffered this unspeakable loss - and their own need of peer support, decided to reach out to other grieving grandparents across the nation and around the world. The Alliance of Grandparents, A Support in Tragedy was organized, and in its ten year history has grown from that small group into an internationally recognized non-profit (501(c)3) organization with peer contacts throughout the United States, and active grandparents in ten countries. Staffed entirely by volunteer grandparents, AGAST responds to "new" bereaved grandparents with information packets, personal contact, and remembrance cards. Our quarterly newsletter has over 1200 recipients.
