| Date: | Tuesday September 1, 2009 | |
| Time: | All Day | |
| Repeats: | This event repeats every month. | |
| Notes: | A GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE AND CONSIDERATE LIST MEMBERSHIP 1. We are here to heal. Please respect other people’s grief. 2. Remember that we have all been hurt by the death of our baby(ies). This is a safe haven to express our grief and to help others that are new in their grief walk. 3. This is not a debate group. Everyone has their own grief walk.

Political views are inappropriate for this list. 5. Do not post chain emails. We do not wish to post other people’s emails on our forum. If you want to send poems, stories, etc, that is fine. Include just the story or poem – no additional thoughts or comments made in a chain note. 6.
