While i wont be able to attend the Walk
to Remember in July, i still signed up to help raise money. I have
never been to a Compassionate Friends meeting. But i have found the
information for the closest meeting to us and am still deciding if im up
for it. Its a huge step in my grief. To share publicly, not just with
a few trusted friends, scares me pretty good. I think it will be good
for me. I think what scares me more is that i may be the only parent in
the group who has lost an infant.
As
I said, i did sign up to help fundraise. I have set up our page to
include Parker and Greg's sister Melody. I know times are tough, but
The Compassionate Friends are a wonderful group who have helped parents
like us all over the world. Anything you are able to give is greatly appreciated. The link to donate is below:
TCF is what pulled Ben and I through. At first we only met a few others that had lost infants, but then there were more and we were able to help them. It became a place where we were called "River's parents" and we knew that everyone had endured the broken hearts we had. We chartered a chapter in January of 2011 because there weren't any within an hour of us. Hope (if you decide to go) that it brings you comfort to know that you can share Parker.
