What to expect at a group meeting
At the start of the group we will introduce ourselves. At this time people sometimes find it helpful to share their circumstances connected to the loss of their baby/babies. At no time during the group is anyone pressurised to talk, for some people just being in the group and listening to other peoples stories is a valuable experience in itself.
The group is a confidential space and we would ask people to always observe this by not discussing any of the information shared to people outside of the group. This helps to create a safe and trusting environment.
Everyone acknowledges that two hours goes quickly and to maximise time it would be useful if people could arrive on time for the group so we do not have to repeat introductions.
We also ask that people are respectful of each others views and decisions. People may have different religious or cultural beliefs and may have had to make choices in relation to their baby that you do not agree with. This is a space to listen and support one another and not a place to discriminate.
Sometimes people may become very emotional in the group, it is okay to cry in the group and it is okay to leave the room if you would like some time by yourself.
Sharing experiences can be very powerful and you may find that some of the information shared resonates deeply with your own situation. This can give you both additional support; by making connections with others and can also make you feel your own grief more acutely.
Overall the support groups are a space to share experiences, to be heard and to listen to others. We hope you find the groups as valuable as we have over the years.
