  • ParentGrief has been established by two sisters who have each experienced the devastating loss of a child, a grandson and a cousin.  
  •  The intent of our organization is to provide education to the citizens of Ohio about the importance of entering their Emergency Contact Information into the Ohio Next of Kin Database.  We will provide on -going educational and enrollment information to schools, community groups, State of Ohio agencies and employers.

    This site is dedicated to LuAnn Grover's grandson Drake, age five, who died in a traffic accident on May 8, 2004.  

    LuAnn's son, Mel, Drake's Dad, who died on June 30, 2006 from an accidental drug overdose after the loss of his son.

    To Chuck Wachtel, our cousin, who died on June 11, 2004, at the age of 34 from an accident at work

    To Steven E "Stevie B" Burge,age 33, son of Linda and Don Wuestenberg, who died in a car accident on February 12, 2007
