Welcome to the HAND message boards. These boards have been created to bring together a community of very special parents in the greater Houston area and provide on-going, non-confrontational support as you grieve your loss. We want to encourage discussion, but remind all participants to please be respectful to others' feelings and/or beliefs in your responses.

These boards will be moderated and HAND reserves the right to determine if a post is appropriate, as well as the right to edit content submitted. Editing will be kept to a minimum only deleting language deemed derogatory or disrespectful to other participants, as well as names of specific hospitals and/or healthcare providers.

We hope you will enjoy this new format and we welcome you to our perinatal bereavement boards.
