How about a group for parents who are "new to two"? If you've got two or more kids at home, and would like to connect with other parents juggling their …

Support group for parents who have lost a child due to disability or illness, although any grieving parent is welcome.

I know what it is like to live next to a hospital bed and to have people think you are a nurse from all the knowledge you have gained and now have no need to use it on a daily basis. When my son passed in April 1997 I was lucky enough to have found a group just like this. It was so amazing to …
