How to Host a Memorial Event

Testimonials
"While our family members were wonderful sources of love and encouragement following our loss, only Share offered us a common bond of support. Share has given us a positive outlet for our grief and we are eternally grateful." - Laura Curran
"What an empowering revelation... There are others out there who know! Share welcomed me into it's arms, took me by the hand and led me to other moms who understood what I was feeling. They understood because they were feeling it too. Strangers we were, but it felt as though we had been friends forever." - Krista McInerney
Start a Share Chapter
If you are interested in starting a new Share Chapter in your hospital or community, the most important requirement is the desire and commitment to helping families who have suffered the devastating death of a baby, at any stage of pregnancy or early infancy. If you have suffered such a loss yourself, Share does ask that it be at least 18 months since your loss before you begin the process of starting your group. Please contact Rose Carlson or call 1-800-821-6819 to obtain an application packet and discuss your desire to start a group.
