"Parents Who Have Lost a Child" support group to meet Aug. 10
Tri-County Health Care has a "Parents Who Have Lost a Child" support group to help those in the area affected by the loss of a child. The monthly support group will meet on Monday, Aug. 10 at 5:30 p.m. in the Wesley Conference Room at Tri-County Health Care.
Our area has had a disturbing number of children lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, illness, cancer, suicide and accidents. These parents need long-term support and many find it comforting to talk with others who have also suffered a similar loss. The purpose of this group is to provide a confidential setting for those who have experienced this type of loss to find support, share their story and learn ways to cope. This support group is open to all parents who have lost a child of any age, at any time in their lives.
If you have any questions about the support group, please contact the Tri-County Health Care Medical Social Services Department at (218) 631-5228.
