Testimonials

“My anger has lessened. I realize now that there are other women and men who are hurting as deeply as I am. The group gave us the support we needed, and especially helped my husband to see that other women grieve similarly to me.”

“We felt helpless and that there was no understanding from people around us before this group. Dr. Ross-Glazer provided greater insight and understanding about our loss and it felt like others could relate to our situation.”

“Just when I thought the hospital staff on duty that fateful night couldn’t get any better, I received a call from Wendy Kelman RN, telling us about this group. We were so happy. We desperately needed further help. The group was incredible. To meet other couples that have experienced the same loss was both tragic and comforting. Dr. Diane Ross-Glazer, who led the group, was outstanding. She is such a special person. She offers so much support, love and understanding. Most of all, she is an excellent listener, and smoothly runs the sessions with grace and compassion. She helped us more than we can express. We also met some wonderful people, who I am sure we will continue to stay in touch with.”

“The group helped me greatly to learn why I was feeling these emotions. It helped with my marriage by teaching us how to communicate with each other about our loss.”

“I now know my feelings are real, normal, expected and right on target. I’ve also been given the language to express those feelings and an understanding of the grieving process.”

“I feel much more positive and focused. I’m getting back to my old self again.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer is an amazing mentor in this area…we enjoyed her thoroughly.”

“When we first joined the group, we were deeply depressed and we felt despondent almost all of our waking hours. The first two sessions were filled with such sad stories and many tears. By the time of the last session, we had found some meaning to life again. We were able to laugh and enjoy some of the other aspects of our lives again. And, we were able to dream again. We believe the same is true for all of the members of the group. Everyone clearly improved as each week progressed. By the last session, the group was enjoying many laughs together. And we intend to continue seeing each other on an informal basis once a month.”

“Being part of the group helped us to deal with our grief, and it helped us to see that our future has possibilities of happiness.”

“Thank you for helping us take these first steps out of the wilderness. We will always be grateful for your generosity, grace and guidance.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer was an excellent leader. She gave the group structure, she was extremely sympathetic and she gave wonderful feedback and advice. And as for the other members of the group, we will have each other to lean on for the rest of our lives.”

“I can’t thank Dr. Glazer enough for all her help. I also want to thank Wendy Kelman RN, who wrote me a note inviting me to this group, and expressing her sincere sorrow for our loss. It was such a comfort to have a complete stranger care so much.”

“The support group enabled us to share our story, our feelings and our journey with the only other people who could possibly understand our pain…others who had suffered a loss recently. And in listening to the other members of the support group and sharing their grief, we no longer felt alone. It was incredibly cathartic to release our grief in an environment which felt safe and supportive and to listen to other members echo so many of our own feelings.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer was prepared every week and was ready to pick up where we ended the prior week. We felt she had a personal connection with each of us.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer was extremely prepared with literature, knowledge and insight into our situation.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer is truly providing an incredible service for couples who have suffered the most devastating event, the loss of a child. The support group has allowed us to discuss and often cry about our grief in a safe and non-threatening environment. I can only speak for myself, but I know that I can move on now and it doesn’t mean I will forget or not have my child. It means I can grieve and smile about his life that I briefly felt and held.”

“I want to thank Dr. Ross-Glazer for all she did for me. I had no hope back then. My heart was shattered into so many pieces when I found out the baby I carried for 36 weeks had died. If it wasn’t for this group and the wonderful, and I mean wonderful friends I made, I do not know where I would have been. My heart sends a million thanks.”

“Dr. Ross Glazer was very professional, warm and caring. She gave us hope and reassured us that we will make it in the long run.”

“I have coping skills now that I did not have before. Being a part of a group where we all understood each other was instrumental to healing. I am a new and stronger person because of the group.”

“This group has been wonderful. I feel that I had a safe place to go each week and that it was okay to talk about my child, my fears and anxieties. My pain matters and I know now that I am not crazy.”

“Initially we felt guarded, but slowly opened up to the group. Now, the group continues to meet, well after the sessions have ended. It was an absolutely positive experience, despite the circumstances.”

“Dr. Ross-Glazer was excellent at running this group. She said to trust her that she would help us move to a better place. There seemed to be no joy in our lives when we started…and now we feel the joy beginning to come back.”

“I guess they say likes attract; where else can we bring our sorrow but in this private place, where we know we have the right to talk about our loss? It is like our society puts a time frame on grief. The first few weeks everyone is supportive and then they quiet…whereas our pain is still strong and living. There is something very healing about being in this very supportive and promising group.”

We’re here to embrace you and your treasured baby, as we start together on a healing path.
