Bereavement for Pregnancy Loss and Newborn death.
Heartstrings was founded to provide support to families who are grieving the loss of their baby during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly after birth. You are welcome to come no matter where you are in your grief or how long it has been since your loss, you may choose to talk or just listen. Some meetings include brief presentations as well as a time for sharing. A registered nurse who is a perinatal bereavement counselor, will facilitate the meetings.
HeartStrings support group meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the chapel on the first floor of the Helen M. Simpson Rehab Hospital, UPMC Community Osteopathic, 4300 Londonderry Road, Harrisburg.
There is no fee to attend, and preregistration is not required.
Please know that you are not alone in this journey. Please reach out to us for support as you work towards healing from your loss. If you would like more information, please call 717-782-3392 or email Kelly Garber at garberkl@upmc.edu.
