Support Groups
Going to a support group is not easy. The anxiety involved in making the decision to go can be surprising. Will I cry? What if I don’t cry? Is my loss significant? Do I have to talk, and if I don, what do I say?, What will "they" expect of me?
These may all seem like relevant questions, but none really matter. What does matter is for the first time since your child died, you can walk into a room of people who understand, not people who will attempt to understand, that will patronize, or ignore your loss, just families like you and us, who have been devastated by the meaning of our losses.
These people will share with you ways to keep your baby’s memory alive; they’ll get you through the first months, holidays, and anniversaries. Even when you are past the most painful times, it is a place that you can always come back, no matter how much time has past. If a group is available to you, we urge you to give it a try. It can help.
