THE MISSION of the Lost Travelers Club is to provide a supportive and empowering community for parents who have outlived our beloved children.
THE VISION: Through charitable work, travel groups, and retreats, we aim to break through isolation, cope with grief, and honor the memories of our children as we step back into the world with empowered purpose and reimagined grief.
"We are each Lost Travelers on the wondrous adventure of discovering and creating new pathways toward wholeness. The destination may seem elusive, but it is the imagination of possibility that keeps us moving forward."
Henry-Cameron Allen
LTC Founder, Executive Director

LTC Inclusivity Policy
The LTC is a safe, inclusive space. We will not discriminate against any person or group of people in our volunteering, hiring/employment practices, or in the administration of programs and services,
including on the basis of ethnicity, faith, cultural background, sexual orientation, politics, or gender identity. It is our policy to avoid discussions regarding hot-button topics that are unrelated to the grief journey
so that we may find, foster, and focus on our common ground.
All are welcome here.
The Peregrine Manifesto
-
We accept fully that grief is part of our story now.
-
We recognize that no one else can fully know the shape or depth of our unique journey.
-
In our trigger moments, we process complex emotions without judgment.
-
We recognize that our emotional 'tsunamis' serve to cleanse our hearts and guide us forward toward lighter moments.
-
We honor the ebb and flow of energy this journey brings, finding safe harbors to rest when needed.
-
Patience and compassion for ourselves must become our constant practice.
-
Rituals sustain us. We keep our children alive within our hearts through meaningful symbols and actions.
-
We share these touchpoints with others when we can, though we must guard our own as private and sacred.
-
It is understood that platitudes and simplistic comforts will rankle us, and we are quick to understand and forgive.
-
We seek to guide and transform advisors into compassionate listeners, knowing they aim to empathize. They care.
-
We recognize that integrating the grief journey into our lives is the work of a lifetime.
-
We mosaic our broken pieces gradually into a new whole. Purpose will re-emerge, though in a different shape than before.
-
We recognize this journey is a solitary one, while also remembering that we are surrounded by community, and that we share a bond of the deepest ties and understanding of those who journey beside us on the Peregrine Path.
-
We courageously endure this process and honor our children, guided by their beautiful light which lives within us and works through us.
