About STILLBORN AND INFANT LOSS SUPPORT

Location:

322 Main Street, Suite 116, Laurel, MD 20707, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help families who experience miscarriage, stillbirth and other pregnancy losses improve their mental health and well-being through community building, education, mentorship, and support groups.

Description

There is nothing more devastating than waiting and expecting for months to meet your baby, only to have your hopes and dreams shattered when you find out your child has died.

Every year in the United States 26,000 babies are stillborn-they die sometimes after the 20th week of pregnancy, Many of these babies were perfectly healthy, and the pregnancies were seemingly uncomplicated. In two-thirds of all cases, the cause of death is never found.

Stillborn and Infant Loss Support (SAILS) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to raising awareness and providing grieving families with resources and support.

We offer a wraparound suite of services to support families and individuals at the time of or following stillbirth or pregnancy loss. These services include an 8-week grief recovery program, annual and monthly events, an online community, an online memorial page, financial assistance for burial/memorial, keepsake boxes, cards, and small gifts at various milestones to remember their baby and cuddle cot donations.
