National Share Office - St. Charles, MO
Support Group Meetings
__________________________________________________________
The National Share Office hosts local support meetings at 402 Jackson in St. Charles, MO. Meetings do not require membership, are free, and are open to bereaved parents who have experienced the death of a baby due to early pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or in the first few months of life. Friends and family of the bereaved are also welcome to attend. Each meeting begins with introductions, followed by a topic of discussion, and then open sharing. Interaction among the group is encouraged, however, no one is required to participate more than what is comfortable. The group is facilitated by Allegra Grawer with the assistance of a Share Companion. The meeting lasts 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and child care is not provided. Upcoming National Share Support Group Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
Subsequent Choices Support Meetings
__________________________________________________________
The Subsequent Choices Support Meeting is held the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. This meeting encompasses issues surrounding your choices after the loss of a baby, including, but not limited to, subsequent pregnancy and adoption.
Loss of a Multiple Birth Support Meetings
__________________________________________________________
The Loss in a Multiple Pregnancy Group does not hold separate meetings. A representative with multiple loss experience will attend our regular support meetings on the second Tuesday of the month and provide phone support with the parents and families who have these needs.
