- Assists parents in understanding the grieving process and fosters emotional insight into coping with the loss of their child
- Creates a safe, supportive forum in which parents can share their thoughts and feelings with others who have had a similar experience
- Provides acceptance and creates a framework within which parents can integrate their loss and learn that there is hope, and there is a future
This group is open to all, no matter where you live or where your baby was delivered.
