Face2Face

I saw there is a new group forming in the 'Burgh that is for women who have suffered pregnancy or infant loss. It was posted on a discussion board I check and I though, "Why not?" I joined and quickly got an invite to their first gathering. It is close to work, on a night that I happen to be staying here late. I want to go but I don't want to be "that person" who suffered losses but now has a child. Some people can see past that and some can't, depending where they are in the grief process. I might just email the organizers and see what they think.

I think it is important to have this resource and stop with the shame in admitting you suffered a loss. I can certainly speak to how miserable and jealous I felt when people close to me were experiencing the joy of a new baby while I was morning the loss of mine.
