Support meetings are informal gatherings where parents can receive
and give support by sharing common experiences as we work through
and resolve our loss. We cordially invite you to attend. Meetings
may start out with a topic of discussion, but everyone is free to
bring up any questions or aspects of their loss which may concern
them.

General Support Meetings
Attending your first meeting does take courage, but parents who
attend find a comforting network of support, encouragement,
friendship and understanding. Nothing is required of you. There
are no dues or fees. You need not speak one word. Even if you
no longer need the meetings for yourself, come and share your
experiences with someone who has recently suffered a loss.

Pregnancy Support Meetings
Parents who are pregnant again after a loss have special emotional
and psychological needs. Pregnancy Support Group meetings address
the concerns of bereaved parents who have started or are thinking
about starting another pregnancy. Fathers are especially encouraged
to attend.
