In light of COVID-19 spreading among our communities, ALL IN-PERSON HAND SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS ARE CANCELLED until further notice. During this time, HAND remains dedicated to supporting families who've experienced a loss in any way possible. You still have options for support!

1. We are offering peer support services via phone and email. If you wish to be connected with a HAND peer support volunteer, please complete a peer support request form.
2. All chapters are currently offering virtual support group meetings on regularly scheduled meeting days and times. For more information, please email meetings@handsupport.org.

We hope to resume our usual meeting schedule as soon as possible. Please check this website for updates. To discuss support options and for updates on support group meetings, please email meetings@handsupport.org and a HAND facilitator will contact you.
For Kendra (8.26.04 – 8.27.04)

Mamas are not supposed to be
separated from their babies.
My little love,
you were here and then gone
All too quickly.

Kicking, hitting and turning,
you made your presence known.
I felt your every move from early on,
and loved you more with every day.

To hold you and love you,
was my dream
To laugh, grow and play with you,
was my future.

Little precious one
we miss you so very much.
Little precious one
we still love you more and more
with every day.
