Who We Are

Sharing Parents is a community of parents who have experienced the loss of a baby from the time of conception through early infancy.  Sharing Parents provides a safe place for grieving parents to share their feelings and experiences with a compassionate community.  We give and receive support by sharing our common experiences, learning about the natural grief process, identifying our emotions, and working through our loss.  For over 30 years, Sharing Parents has helped parents move towards healing.

What Our Parents Say

“

At first I was terrified to attend a meeting. I didn't see myself as needing a support group, but now I can't imagine not having the support I found at Sharing Parents. I walked out of my first meeting feeling understood and normal.

“

Sharing Parents was the only place I could talk freely about my baby girl without having to worry about making others uncomfortable. No one else in my life understood that even though she never took a breath, for us she was as real and as loved as the child that celebrates her first birthday. The validation, support, and love we received was critical to helping us grieve in our own way and made healing possible.

“

It is unfortunate HOW we came to find Sharing Parents, but we are so thankful for the support and compassion they offer, since the grief journey of losing an infant/child seems so lonely. It’s comforting to know that we are not alone and that there are so many thoughtful and caring volunteers at Sharing Parents who are willing to help you through such an overwhelming grief process. Thank you!

The Navigating Grief Series helped me to examine my feelings and know that I am not alone.

Grieving is a slow process. Don't feel inclined to rush or ignore when you need support from others.

“

The Navigating Grief Series reinforces that you are not alone in your grief and that there are things you can do to help yourself through this journey.

“

It may seem like a daunting task to get in the car and go to a meeting knowing each time you will relive those memories, but it is one of the most helpful and healing experiences on your journey.

“

Please go. When you are unsure what to do, that is probably the best time. You are NOT alone, ever.

The Navigating Grief Series has been so helpful for me. I am truly grateful for this series and will continue to be a part of this amazing group of people.
