Honoring Lives, Supporting Families
The Dying Generation provides grief support to mothers and families who have lost a child to opioid or fentanyl overdose. Founded by an ordained minister thirty-five years into her own recovery who lost her son to addiction, we offer pastoral support, peer connection, honest fentanyl and naloxone education, and a Wall of Light where families can say their loved one's name and be heard. You are not the only one — you don't have to carry this alone.
One-on-one support from an ordained minister who has walked this road.
Referrals to GRASP, The Compassionate Friends, and networks built for this loss.
Honest information on overdose signs, naloxone, and test strips.
A place to say their name out loud, and see it held by others.
What if I'm in crisis right now?
If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 anytime, day or night. This connects you directly to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You don't have to wait to reach out to us first — get immediate support now.
e.g. Do you offer custom service plans?

Is my donation tax-deductible?
The Dying Generation's 501(c)(3) application is currently pending with the IRS. Contributions are not tax-deductible at this time. If our exemption is approved, gifts made now may become retroactively tax-deductible back to our date of incorporation. We will notify all donors as soon as our status is confirmed.
Do I have to be religious to reach out?
No. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of faith or belief. Our founder brings a pastoral perspective, but support is available to anyone carrying this grief.
