Anyone who has lost a baby through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or newborn death is welcome to attend support meetings. Spouses or partners are especially encouraged and welcome to come, as well as other adult family members such as grandparents. We respectfully ask that children not attend. You are welcome to bring a memento of your baby to share. Mementos may include pictures, a stuffed animal, footprints, poems, and more.
Each month, different Utah Share board members help lead the meetings. They first share the story of their loss. Afterward, each parent or couple is invited to share their loss experience. Parents may use as much detail as they are comfortable with. Some parents may not wish to share their experience, and this is also acceptable. Crying is always acceptable, and part of the healing process. Each loss is valid, and everyone grieves in their own time, and in their own way. After everyone has had an opportunity to talk about their baby, the meeting opens up to a topic discussion. The meeting topics are simply a rough outline to get ideas and thoughts generated. If you have a specific question, or need to talk about a specific topic, this is always welcome. Many parents comment after attending a meeting: "I thought I was crazy! It's so nice to know that others understand how I'm feeling."
