Join SHARE's annual Wings of Hope Angel Garden Blessing June 20 at Edward Hospital

On Tuesday, June 20, SHARE will hold its annual Wings of Hope Angel Garden Blessing & Butterfly Release on the campus of Edward Hospital, 801 S. Washington St. in Naperville.

It will begin at 6 p.m. at the garden located on the south side of the campus, near the emergency/outpatient entrance.

The guest speaker for this year's event will be Kevin Madsen, M.D., 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 for those who have experienced a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or neonatal death.

Membership in SHARE is not required to attend. The event is open to all who have experienced a similar loss.

The garden opened in 2010 as a place that allows parents who have lost a baby to remember and celebrate their child's life.

Features of the garden include brick walls where parents can memorialize their baby, benches, fountain and plants that attract butterflies.
