Become A Pierced Companion

Are you a parent who has lost a baby and looking to provide support to another parent who has lost a baby by becoming a Pierced Companion?

Pierced Companions are recruited from all over the world to provide support, empathy and understanding to other bereaved parents. Sometimes it is most comforting to talk to someone who has experienced a similar tragedy.

Each Pierced Companions completes a profile detailing their personal experience with child loss. All of your information is kept confidential and is never shared with anyone except the person you agree to support.

Each applicant works with a staff member of Pierced Forever to get screened and trained. Pierced Companions remain in the matching database and will be contacted when a bereaved parent seeking support registers for a match.

Please register online by filling out the form below. One of our Connection Specialists will be in touch with you shortly after your information is received. All information is kept confidential and is never shared with anyone except your match.

    ​Terms of Use

    Pierced Forever Foundation (“PFF”) is a nonprofit organization that provides one-on-one grief support by connecting parents who have lost a child to another seeking support (each a “Support Seeker”) with volunteer-companions who have experienced something similar and donates their time and energy to PFF and to those seeking support (each a “Pierced Companion”). PFF’s one-on-one support gives each person seeking support a chance to ask personal questions and express their worries and frustrations, while receiving encouragement and support from someone who is uniquely familiar with the challenges that they may face.
    ​
    By requesting support from a Pierced     Companion or seeking to become a Pierced Companion (each Support Seeker and Pierced Companion referred to as a “Participant”) through PFF and/or www.piercedforever.org (the “website”), you expressly indicate that you understand and agree with the following:

    • The relationships established among any of the Participants are founded, and should be based, solely on psychosocial and emotional support and are not intended to be substitutes for professional treatment, advice or diagnosis. PFF may refer Support Seekers to other agencies if PFF personnel cannot find the appropriate match for the Support Seeker.
    • Pierced Companions do not provide support as licensed medical or mental health/healthcare professionals. No Participant may recommend or endorse any specific medical or non-medical tests, physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information to another Participant or otherwise give “medical’ advice to another Participant. Further, no Participant should ever construe anything relayed to them by any other Participant as medical advice, recommendation or opinion. Under no circumstance should any Participant solicit or offer professional, financial, medical, or other similar advice or assistance from or to, respectively, another Participant.
    • The content on the website is only to be read and or used for informational purposes and is not intended to be a substitute for professional help or advice. If at any time you have reason to believe you or a loved one may have a medical emergency or feel that you or a loved one need medical attention, please either call 911, go to the emergency room, and/or call your or their doctor, as appropriate, immediately.
    • The information you provide to PFF will only be used as described in PFF’s Privacy Policy (www.piercedforever.org/privacy-policy) and you consent to all actions taken by PFF with respect to your information in compliance with PFF’s Privacy Policy.
