• We are a space to talk about the person you lost and to share your experience in grief
• We meet twice a month in Neukölln, Berlin on Monday evenings
• Parents, Siblings and anyone else affected are welcome
• People affected by child loss during pregnancy and stillbirth are welcome
• The primary language of this support group is English
• We are non-denominational. Both spiritual and non-spiritual perspectives are welcome.
• The origin of the group was simply a need to talk about these complex feelings in English
