I had a stillbirth a few weeks ago and would like to attend a support group in-person. All of the ones that have been recommended to us are still over Zoom, and having such an emotional conversation over Zoom is really not appealing to me.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an in-person support group? |

| I am so sorry. I only know of the online ones…. I’d see if you could attend one of the zoom ones and maybe someone would be willing to meet after that in person. Sending peace mama, those first few weeks are hard. |

| Same, everything is still online. I think it would still be helpful to join one and agree there will be people who will be willing to meet after. I’m so sorry for your loss. |

| https://www.drrachelfreedman.com/ may have group sessions? I met with her virtually after I TFMR in September. |

| One more thing, you’re in the DC area? Join the DC PLIDS google group and post that you’d like to meet in person if possible (and/or ask the other group facilitators to send a message to the group members with your request). I know it’s an extra step, and it’s hard to have the bandwidth, but unfortunately, it may be the only way. |

OP here - just sent them a message and request to join the group. Thank you! |

Op, I’m a member of that group. I think the discussions over Zoom are better than you might expect. But also i will be happy to meet you in person with others from the group if we are asked. Sending you strength - the early days are so hard |
