Any time is the right time to attend the Miscarriage, Infant Death, and Stillbirth (MIS) Support group.



Monthly support via online, interactive meetings

Since COVID, we've continued our mission of offering information, support, and comfort in an online format. The meeting link will only be provided after registration, which means you'll need to register each month to continue attending. This helps keep attendance private and secure.

Sign up to attend

Worried about technology or unfamiliar with online meetings? Don't worry--when you sign up, we'll walk you through what you need to know; and we encourage logging in a few minutes early so that we can help you work out any kinks. The software is free.


About MIS Share

MIS Share (Miscarriage, Infant loss, and Stillbirth) is a parent-led support network founded in 1981 to offer information, support, and comfort to grieving parents who have experienced the death of their baby during pregnancy, or after birth.

We have a monthly support-group that offers a compassionate, comforting, and safe environment in which parents are free to share thoughts, feelings, and experiences with other parents who truly understand. From this mutual experience, at times, lifelong friendships are formed.

Any time is the right time to contact MIS—whether you just experienced a loss last week, 20 years ago, or are a loved one supporting a parent struggling with their loss.

October is Perinatal Loss Month

Most of our area hospitals sponsor perinatal memorial services which are open to anyone. As hospitals notify us of their memorial service events and remembrance walks, we will add them to our calendar. MedStar Washington, VHC, and Inova Fairfax are all holding theirs on Oct 6th. Inova Fairfax is holding theirs in a different location than the previous years! View the calendar for details including parking or whether you need to RSVP (some are assigning times).
