PAIL networkThe Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network's new Owen Sound chapter will be holding it's first support group on April 16th at the Owen Sound Library. The group will continue to gather on the 3rd Monday of each month and will be facilitated by PAIL volunteers; Bethany Green, Rachelle Smith and Beckie Smith. These women have bravely and compassionately offered to volunteer their time to complete PAIL training in order to become peer counsellors and bring this much needed service to our community.

The Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network provides free bereavement support to families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy at any stage or the death of their baby, up to 12 months of age.

"PAIL Network offers group support in communities all across Ontario. We recognize how important it is for families to feel a connection to others who have experienced a similar loss, and to talk about their loss in a safe space.

These groups are facilitated by a PAIL Network group facilitator who has a lived experience of loss and has successfully completed the training required to host a circle of support.

Families can attend a circle of support for as as long as they would like. These groups are typically attended by bereaved parents, and are open to any other adult family members who have been impacted by the loss." - www.pailnetwork.sunnybrook.ca

Many families grieve alone, but you can help by simply passing along this message, so that they will know they don't have to.
