Edward Foundation, SHARE Sibling Loss program March 17

Edward Foundation and SHARE will host the program, “Perinatal Sibling Loss: Helping Your Child Grieve,” at 7 – 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, in the Edward Hospital Education Center, Room E301, 801 S. Washington St., Naperville.

SHARE is a support group for parents who have lost a baby through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant death. Edward-Elmhurst Health has SHARE groups that meet at Edward Hospital, 801 S. Washington St. in Naperville and Elmhurst Hospital, 155 E. Brush Hill Rd.

The March 17 program will feature presenter Lauren Wozniak, MA, LPC, ATR, Program Manager, Willow House in Libertyville, which offers child, family and community grief support.

Each year in the U.S., one of every four pregnancies ends in miscarriage, 26,000 children die as a result of stillbirth and another 19,000 children succumb to early infant death. As a result, thousands of families leave the hospital each year without their child – with empty arms, broken hearts and a love for their deceased child that will never diminish.
