There are so many places you can go on the internet to look up resources. When Tristen passed away I didn't have a computer and no way to get on the internet. So, I depended on the hospital to give me a list of resources. It was really strange because I remembered just glancing at the paper and thinking this writing is so small how am I supposed to read it. When I got into my car I looked at it closer. For some reason out of all the resources on the sheet only one really stuck out to me and it was the first one I looked at even though it was at the very bottom of the page.
SHARE Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Group. Then I called the number and Colleen answered and begin talking to me about the group and her story. I couldn't believe how fortunate I was that I found someone to talk to that knew exactly what I was going through. She told me that they were having a meeting and she told me when. I was so excited that I was going to have someone to talk to about my situation that I got the dates mixed up and wound up showing up for the meeting a week early. The reason I made it through such a tragedy was because of Share.
