In the charity's own words
TGGP provides comfort and support to families grieving after the sudden or untimely death of a loved one - in particular the death of a son or daughter. We encourage an active and creative response to grief, we raise awareness about the needs of the bereaved and promote an understanding of what it means to grieve in a culture that has difficulty talking openly about death, dying or bereavement.
