Nearly 150 people attended and the names of 50 babies were read at the SHARE Wings of Hope Angel Garden Blessing & Butterfly Release on June 20 at Edward Hospital in Naperville.
The guest speaker at this year’s event was Kevin Madsen, MD, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine and independent physician on the medical staff of Edward-Elmhurst Health.
SHARE, now in its 34th year, is a support group provided by Edward-Elmhurst Health for those who have experienced a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or neonatal death. The Garden opened in 2010 as a place for parents who have lost a baby to remember and celebrate their child's life.
SHARE also coordinates special events to raise awareness, including an annual Walk to Remember.
