”Death happens to everyone. It will be a hard and difficult time. But there are people there to help you, because they care. Please keep supporting Safe Crossings – it helps everyone.” – Riley Frisk
In 1998, Richard Frisk died of cancer when he was 37 years old. He left behind a wife and three children: Riley age 9, Jerrad age 3, and Brittany age 4 months.
“When I attended Camp Erin, I didn’t know what to expect so I held back a bit…I was scared. Then I realized that other people had suffered the same thing. It was a special place where I did not feel alone. I learned to share my feelings of being sad, lost, shut out, out of the planet. Safe Crossings taught us to cry, to show emotions, without judgment.” – Jerrad Frisk
“Safe Crossings counselors taught me that I am not alone in this world which was a pure feeling of relief. I can finally take the burden off me, take a breath, and relax.” – Brittany Frisk
As recently reported in the Wall Street Journal, one in nine (1 in 9) Americans will experience the death of a parent before the age of 20 years old.
