This month's topic will be "Recovery and Greiving through Pregnancy Losses" including stillbirths and miscarriages.

We are hoping to have a professional facilitator or counselor who can help offer support and guidance to those of us who have experienced pregnancy losses at various stages. This is not meant to be group therapy, but rather informal peer support, on a "woman to woman" level, and a chance for us to tell our stories.

Although it may seem to be a sad topic, we want to honor each person's experience dealing with life and death in the difficult times that the two happen together.

       I only give a neutral rating b/c I don't know how to rate this meetup. Yes, I was sad and crying, but I was also I had a lot of hearts picking me up. The subject matter for this past meetup was one that needs to be talked about because life isn't always fair and perfect. So many of us feel alone when we lose a baby, and the hurt sometimes consumes us. Trebor did a great job hosting the meetup. I feel so much love coming from this group. You are all a remarkable group of women with big hearts. Thank you for having the open arms for me. Michelle

       For the first time I actually felt as if I belonged there. It was a good feeling. I found the subject hard to listen to, yet very informative especially as a midwife wannabe. Thanks, and keep up the good work! 
    •  Wow - I'm impressed at the depth we were able to reach with our discussion this time! Contrary to popular opinion, it is actually very therapeutic to tell our stories, and listen to the stories of others, even if the stories are painful or traumatic. We certainly covered the span of our experiences - deaths that occurred from several months ago to over 27 years ago. Thank you all for bearing witness to each other, and for actively participating in this special meetup that we hope will be a lasting source of healing for many of who were able to share and release some of their grieving.

       We had a wonderful time with everyone and with listening and sharing our experience. And thanks to Trebor for letting us share at her beautiful home.
