Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support

At Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support, we are a compassionate community committed to providing support to individuals enduring profound grief when experiencing the loss of a baby.  The care that bereaved parents receive following the death of their baby is crucial. These experiences may stay with parents for the rest of their lives, and the environment in which care is provided is especially important. Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support, Inc. is the only organization in the area that provides a comfort room for parents grieving the loss of their baby. The new Share office has become a place and space deliberately carved out for families to freely mourn and show their grief. 

Share provides comfort kits to families that have lost their baby. While nothing can take away the pain of their loss, this box may offer them a measure of peace as they begin their difficult journey. We know how important it is to have cherished keepsakes when grieving the loss of a baby, and this comfort kit is filled with tender items to foster healing and self-care. 

In the past year, we have supported 4,125 families, trained 227 caregivers and medical professionals, held 7 support groups each month, provided boxing therapy, a journaling class, an IntenSati class, a Health and Wellness Day, held 11 memorial events, developed a self-care app, and sent out over 45,000 brochures and booklets. The National Share Office assisted 74 parents who lost their baby in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, 61 parents who experienced a stillbirth, and 19 parents who lost an infant in March alone, demonstrating the extreme need for this support.  In 2023, we held our 22nd Annual Share Walk for Remembrance and Hope and honored over 650 babies. We had over 2,500 people attend the Walk, honoring so many very loved and very missed babies.

We express our gratitude to the compassionate individuals who contribute to creating a nurturing environment at Share for families experiencing loss. Your care, empathy, and generosity are deeply appreciated as you extend your hearts and resources to support families grappling with the profound loss of their babies and shattered dreams. Share, a nonprofit organization, depends on the kindness of individuals, corporations, and foundations. Your contributions are tax-deductible, enabling us to continue providing vital assistance to those in need. Share relies on generous donors to provide this beautiful option for families.
