San Mateo Grief Support Meetings

HAND (Helping After Neonatal Death) grief support groups are for parents grieving the loss of a baby before, during or after birth. At these informal gatherings we receive and give support by sharing common experiences as we work through our grief. Meetings are facilitated by volunteer bereaved parents who are able to offer empathetic peer support. Meetings may start out with a topic of discussion, but everyone is free to bring up any questions or aspects of their loss that may concern them. Attending your first meeting may take courage, but parents who attend find a comforting network of support, encouragement, friendship and understanding. Nothing is required of you. There are no dues or fees. Even if you no longer need the meetings for yourself, come and share your experiences with someone who has recently suffered a loss.
