Sharing is a community organization of parents and health care providers in the Middle Tennessee Region who are interested in helping parents who have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of a newborn infant.

Our desire is to provide parents an avenue to receive comfort and reassurance from other parents who have experienced a similar loss, and to assist in educating the community about the intense grief felt by parents following the death of their baby.

Where We Meet

The parent support group meets the second Thursday evening of each month at 7 p.m. in the Administrative Board Room at The Women's Hospital at Centennial Medical Center located at 2221 Murphy Avenue (between 22nd and 23rd Ave). Ample parking is available across the street from the Women's Hospital in the Murphy Avenue parking garage. Walk in the front door of Women's Hospital and turn left before the elevators to the Administrative offices. There will be signs posted.

The group is open to all individuals who have experienced a perinatal loss. Dialogue is facilitated by a parent and a health care professional, and the format is open discussion.

It meets for the purpose of providing a time and place for parents to come and resolve their grief by talking with other parents who are experiencing similar feelings and emotions. All meetings are conducted in an informal setting, and participation in the conversation is voluntary. No fee or registration is required. (The support group will not meet if Metro Schools are out due to inclement weather.)
