Mission

Our mission is to serve those touched by the death of a baby through pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or in the first months of life. Our purpose is to provide support toward healing at the time of or following the death of a baby. We provide education and resources on bereaved parents’ and siblings’ needs and rights. We strive to set a standard of perinatal bereavement care through a lifetime of support, hope, and healing, one family at a time.

For support, please contact us at 801-272-5355.

For over 40 years, Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support, Inc. has been helping bereaved parents. We are dedicated to supporting parents and families throughout the United States and internationally.

Share Parents of Utah was established on August 15, 1983 and supports the Wasatch Front area, including Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele, and Summit counties.

We have been operating as a chapter in Utah for 40 years and provide support services to families after the loss of a child, either through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, neonatal death, or in the first months of life. We provide support services directly after loss with our Hospital Companioning program. We meet directly with families in the hospital setting and, first and foremost, provide a listening ear.

As loss parents ourselves, we have a unique opportunity to support families by sharing what helped us through our own journeys, reflecting on what we might have done differently, and simply being present in a space no one ever expects to be. Most of our volunteers are loss parents, and every one of our peer support volunteers has walked this path personally. When appropriate, we are able to offer hand and foot molds, as well as photography, mementos, burial gowns, sibling mementos, and Grandparent gifts. All of this is free to families.

We also offer support meetings throughout the month, either in person or via Zoom. We run two specialty meetings, Pregnancy After Loss and Grandparent Grief, as well as several other general grief support groups. During the year, we host workshops for siblings and couples. In October, we hold our annual Walk of Remembrance and Hope, where hundreds of families can gather and honor their little ones gone too soon.
