Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, NILMDTS, are volunteer photographers who come to your hospital room and lovingly and gently take pictures soon after our babies are born. Many hospitals know about NILMDTS, so ask. If you know that your baby has died or has had a Preterm Diagnosis of a fatal/short life expectancy, you may call them and arrange for them to come to your hospital room. SA parents who have been blessed to have them have some of the most tender and loving pictures I have ever seen. And, the experience has been one of many blessings. (Marcia)

All three groups are national, but the participants are very supportive of each other and have a lot of wisdom to share.
For some members, eLIMBO and CALM have been a helpful complement to SHARE Atlanta, because they help to address the issues that are specific to a loss of a multiple.
