Learn more about this group and others in the region that offer support to parents who have lost a baby or child.
Posted — UpdatedThe free group will meet monthly and indefinitely.
"We have certainly noted that there is a need for this kind of grief support in our community," Kathryn Keicher, who works at the Duke Birthing Center, tells me.
The group meets from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., on the second Thursday of each month. It will meet at a clinic near The Streets at Southpoint in Durham.
For more information if you'd like to attend, contact Keicher at kathryn.keicher@duke.edu. (Full disclosure: Duke Medicine is Go Ask Mom's sponsor).
Here are the local programs they recommended:
- Inspired Birth offers bereavement doula services.
- The Wake County chapter of Compassionate Friends offers support to families after the death of a child.
- UNC has a Perinatal Loss Support Group that meets monthly.
- Parentcare offers support for parents who have had a baby die. It meets twice a month.
