Consoling Parents Support

---

A miscarriage, a stillbirth, a newborn death--such a sudden, unexpected event can be a heartbreaking experience for parents.

A new wave of grief can be triggered by common things in life--the sight of a pregnant woman; watching television; a birth announcement arriving in the mail; the sound of a baby crying. As one father expressed it, "You're always just a split second away from a reminder of your loss."

2010 Walk to Remember
Please join us for our sixth annual Walk to Remember to honor children lost through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death. The walk and memorial service are open to all family members, friends and health care professionals. We wish to support and raise awareness for families whose lives have been touched by the tragic death of a baby, regardless of hospital affiliation or how long ago they experienced the loss.

We Can Help

Consoling Parents support group began in 1979 by the Norton Hospital Pastoral Care Department and is a support group for parents who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or early newborn death. You can share your feelings confidentially or you can just listen to others.  The group of parents meets twice a month to hear, understand, accept and guide each other through the aftermath of loss.  Please visit Consoling Parents for more information.
