Still Missed Pregnancy & Newborn Loss~Parent Support Program

Still Missed Pregnancy & Newborn Loss~Parent Support Program Still Missed is a support program designed to help parents and families cope with the devastating grief of losing a baby. We meet from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

As part of Adventist Midwest Health's Still Missed program, trained compassionate staff are available to those who have recently experienced the death of a baby. After a hospital stay, a member of the Still Missed staff will follow up to check on the family's physical and emotional health. Our goal is to help parents find positive ways to cope and ultimately resolve feelings of grief. The Still Mi

ssed program also offers:

* Trained, experienced counseling staff
* Support for the entire family – parents, children and grandparents
* Monthly parent support group
* Quarterly grandparent support group
* Quarterly Spanish-speaking parent support group
* Monthly support group for those facing subsequent pregnancy after loss
* Lending library of grief materials
* Opportunity to help parents feel less alone and better understand feelings of loss
* Opportunity for you to help others in your community work through similar experiences
* Annual memorial remembrance service
* Memorial garden

The Still Missed Parent Support Group meets on the second Monday of each month in the Calandra room on the main floor of Tupper Hall at 119 North Oak Street in Hinsdale, Illinois, directly across from Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. The adjacent parking garage, designated for employees, may be used. Please join us. You may also be interested in joining our Facebook Group for parents who wish to discuss their experience in a more private online setting.

Often people with try to change us as their way of helping us through our grief. They will constantly say "I miss the old you." What they don't understand is that the old person went away when our child died. We are now a different person -- a person who carries the pain of child loss deep within the heart.

When a child is born we fill with emotions that we didn't know existed. We had no idea that the bond of love could be that strong. The same thing happens when a child dies. Our hearts and minds change in an instant. We feel the loss of our child so much that it's as though part of our own heart has been split in two. There really are no words to adequately explain this kind of pain.

— You Don’t Just Lose Someone Once —
You lose them over and over,
sometimes many times a day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten,
creeps up,
and attacks you from behind.
Fresh waves of grief as the realisation hits home,
they are gone.
Again.

You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn,
and as you awaken,
so does your memory,
so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart,
they are gone.
Again.

Losing someone is a journey,
not a one-off.
There is no end to the loss,
there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat,
when it washes over.

Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea,
they have a journey ahead of them,
and a daily shock to the system each time they realise,
they are gone,
Again.

You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every day,

for a lifetime.

Dear Mom,

I am still here. ❤

I am here for you when desperation creeps in between the spaces of our new realities. I am not gone.

Every tear you shed, I collect it. I gather the rain, and to each drop I give life to the memories you and I have shared.

I step into your dreams when you least expect it, and if you look hard enough, you can find me there.

Say my name. Remember me in the quiet moments. They will sustain you when the world intrudes and tries to drown out the sound of the conversations that you still have with me when you think no one else is listening.

I am still here. ❤

Mom, my soul is quiet now. It no longer yearns for the things my physical body needed to survive this particular battle.

It took everything from me, and I know it took everything from you; you will never realize what that did to my spirit when I passed from that life into this one.

I know that you feel like you are losing your mind some days, but when you hear a heartbeat where none should exist, know that it is mine, keeping time with yours.

I am still here. ❤

I did exist. I left my mark upon this world, and I am at peace now...

Love Your Child
