About Bereaved Parents of Madison
Bereaved Parents of Madison, Inc. provides support and resources to grieving families during and after pregnancy loss, termination, stillbirth, infant death, and subsequent pregnancies by offering personal and group support, as well as programs and events for families. We also provide education and awareness to the community through outreach programs and relationships with area hospitals. We strive to nurture healing and renew hope in these families throughout the grieving process.
History
Since 1974, our group has met monthly in hospitals and private homes, to provide support and share our grief with other parents who "Get it." Our members have suffered the unimaginable: the loss of a child. Whether it was an early pregnancy loss, termination, stillbirth, in the NICU, or after the child went home, we are here to listen and support you.
The founders of our group donated the first cameras and film to the hospitals to be used for pregnancy and infant loss. They also lead the way to provide gowns for the babies gone too soon to wear.
Our members are from a variety of cultures, belief systems, and professions. All parents are welcome. Through loss, they have come together to support one another during times when others do not know what to say.
