I hope this isn't viewed as insensitive as I have never been in this situation but I get an email from Pinky McKay often and she has a free teleseminar and I thought that there maybe someone interested. The details are:
As May is national pregnancy loss awareness month, I am holding a free teleseminar with a trained grief counsellor from the small miracles foundation:
"What to expect when you aren't expecting any more - grieving the loss of a baby during pregnancy and the newborn period,"
Free Teleseminar:
"What to expect when you aren't expecting any more - grieving the loss of a baby during pregnancy and the newborn period,"
This teleseminar is for you if:
You have suffered the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, prematurity or during the newborn period?
You wish to support family members or friends who have lost a baby and you would like to know the best way to do this
You would like to acknowledge and remember a baby close to you such as a grandchild or sibling.
Whether you are a mother, a father or a close relative or friend, it can be very isolating to experience the grief and loss of a baby that others didn't know. It can be difficult to know how best to support your partner, your family members and close friends through an event as devastating as the loss of a much longed for baby.
On this teleseminar - you can listen FREE on your phone (get a phone card or skype as its a US phone ine) or through your computer- and yes, the call will be recorded so you can listen later), as internationally acclaimed baby care author Pinky McKay interviews a trained grief counsellor from the Small Miracles Foundation.
On the call, we will be sharing:
How can parents and families begin the healing process after such a traumatic event?
What exactly does grief counselling involve?
How do men and women experience and express grief? Is it different for each partner?
How can you and your partner support each other?
What are some tangible ways to create special and lasting memories of your child?
How can you 'move on' and regain your life, whether you consider another pregnancy or face a future without children?
How can we acknowledge and support close friends and family who have suffered a pregnancy loss or the loss of a newborn baby?
This call is a way to break the silence and encourage discussion around the taboo topic of pregnancy loss. It can be a start to the healing process to know you are not alone - to talk to somebody who listens to you and acknowledges your pain, whether you have experienced your loss recently or perhaps, many years ago

I have listened to various teleseminars from Pinky McKay before and they can be very good so maybe this will help someone
