POMC
Our chapter is a support group for ALL family members (not just parents) and friends of those who have lost a loved one through violence. Our goal is to provide emotional support and companionship, including accompaniment for survivors who must attend court proceedings.
There really are no words to describe the devastation and scope of feelings for those of us who have lost a loved one through violence. It changes your life. You often feel as though no one can understand. But here, at the Sacramento Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children (POMC), you will find people that care about you and will have a good grasp of at least some of the things you are going through. We will support you and will be here for you when you need us. You will NEVER need to apologize for your feelings.
We hold monthly meetings and provide a telephone network of support.
