Our Beginning

Hello, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Tony Diaz a parent who has lost a child and Founder of the " Parents At A Loss Foundation" Inc. (PAAL). For over thirty years in my capacity as President/CEO, Executive Director, and Counselor for a non-profit family counseling agency that served the San Bernardino Inland Empire. I had never thought I would one day develop a program designed to help parents who have lost a child.

I know we remember all so well that devastating and terrifying moment. I recall sitting in the hospital lobby room waiting to see my son "Andy" when out of no where I heard a loud yell from the nurse saying " Mr. Diaz " your son had a " heart attack " my body and mind immediately went into shock with disbelief. I remember telling the doctors to please save my son and bring him back. That night my son " Andy " never went back home.

The " Parents At A Lost " Foundation Inc. (PAAL) is a "Self-Help" support group model that has been recognized as a viable and effective method in coping with the loss of a child. A study conducted by (Wichita State University Center for Community Support And Research) concluded that " Self-Help " groups comprised of parents that share the same issues and challenges experience a better insight in learning the processes of grief with purpose while helping others.

“My Vision is to help parents, like myself, who have lost a child.”
