EVENTS

TAPS hosts and participates in events across the country to provide support to all who are grieving the loss of a loved one who has died while in military service. Through our national and regional seminars and good grief camps, retreats, special presentations and fundraising events, TAPS is able to provide hope and healing. Our special presentations offer survivors, caregivers, military personnel, supporters and friends the opportunity to learn more about military grief and learn about the mission of TAPS.

TAPS takes pride in being able to continue its mission of compassionate care and comfort to all survivors; regardless of relationship, circumstance or geographic location of the death. Whether a survivor, caregiver, supporter, friend or someone who is interested in learning more about TAPS, we invite you to review our calendar and Press Room for an event near you!

Proactive Grieving
By Mitch Carmody

TAPS Magazine | When my father died in 1969, I was only 15 years old. My mom told me that I was the man of the family now and that I needed to take care of the farm and my sisters. I did just that. I did not grieve, I did not cry, I did not publicly mourn. I hid my sorrow as if it were some awful secret I was ashamed of. I moved on.

TAPS Blog | Do you ever wonder why there are always so many expectations put on us as we are working our way down this grief path?  Dealing with the death of a loved one is hard enough in itself, but it proves even harder when the people around you add more pressure as to what they think you should, and should not, be doing.  They want a timeline of when your grieving will be done and when you’ll be back to “normal.”
