There are many wonderful resources and supports available to grieving families. We’ll add to this list as we learn of more resources.
Comeunity – This website provides information and resources to families of premature infants and children and children with special needs. I particularly like the listing of helpful books and resources.
SHARE: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support – A national organization providing resources and support following the loss of a pregnancy or child. I especially like their page telling family and friends what not to say.

I know of a few families who have used this service and while they were initially opposed to photographing their infant are pleased to have this tangible memory of their child.
SHARE: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support – A national organization providing resources and support following the loss of a pregnancy or child. I especially like their page telling family and friends what not to say.
