Compassionate Friends is a national self-help organization that provides support, education, and resources for families who have lost a child. First Candle is a nonprofit organization that provides support and education for families who experienced sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), miscarriage, or stillbirth. While Al Anon provides support for those affected by a loved one's alcoholism, Infant Loss Support specifically focuses on supporting families who have lost a baby through stillbirth, miscarriage, or neonatal death. Rachel's Vineyard is a retreat program for those who have experienced abortion, which may not be appropriate for this family's situation. Therefore, the best choice would be A and B.
