What to expect at our
Support Meetings
Currently all support group meetings are held at the Sadie Rose
House 195 Main Street Dayton,
across the street from Dayton
Church of the Brethren. Our bereaved parent meetings and bereaved family meetings are both
facilitated by Regina Cyzick Harlow. All our meetings are informal.
No one is expected or required to
talk unless they choose to do so.
Most every meeting begins with
casual conversation. Throughout
the meeting, you can expect moments of tears and times of laughter. Sometimes we talk about our
children and our losses and sometimes we talk simply as friends.
The meetings are not scripted and
sometimes there are moments of
comfortable silence in the presence
of those who understand. Please
consider bringing a friend if that
would be helpful.

Current Collectibles
We are often asked what donated items would help us. We will
suggest a focus each month of an item/items that help in our
support efforts. Current Collectibles: Bottled and canned
drinks and prepackaged sweet snacks for our support
meetings.
Have you considered attending one of our support group meetings? We know that
taking that first step can be the hardest. Consider asking a friend or family member
to come with you. Another way to lesson the anxiety of showing up for the first time
is to connect with people online in our “Additional Support” section below or on our
online support chat. With the exception of our Miscarriage Support Group, our
groups are open to those who have lost a child of any age. All our meetings are held
at 195 Main Street Dayton, VA 22821. Please let us know how we can best support
you on your grief journey.
Additional support
One-on-one support is available at our office by appointment. Call Regina at 540-810-4351 or
email regina@sadierosefoundation to schedule a time.
We also have several private Facebook groups, one for bereaved parents and one for those
who are pregnant after a loss. This is in addition to our public Facebook page. Feel free to
request to join these groups that apply.
