I went to the annual River of Remembrance in San Diego which is the first event for National Crime Victims Rights week. My daughter and grandson were murdered in July 06, and this is the first year I attended this event. I met Connie Saindon (MFT, Clinical Director, ED) at the event. She was very passionate about what she does and was so kind to all of us there remembering our lost loved ones. There is an overwhelming need in our community to have support groups that address our unique issues that come with a violent loss and this is one of those groups we need so badly. Since that event Connie has been in contact with me to let me know of upcoming events and I will do the same for her in the future. Survivors of Violent loss program is one of the groups I suggest when working with families who have suffered a violent loss.
