CAUTIONS Limitations
of Self-Help Support on SPALS SPALS
strives to stimulate a self-help response.
Information provided by subscribers is largely
based on personal experiences of bereaved
individuals seeking or experiencing subsequent
pregnancy. This is not medical advice and it is not
professional counselling. Any suggestions obtained
from SPALS are based solely on the experiences of
individuals who have overcome their own personal
challenges facing subsequent pregnancy. We consider
this to be valuable support to the self-help
process. But, those seeking support should be wary
of relying solely on this information for their
emotional support. The SPALS
list administrators are volunteers, who provide
services in their spare time on an ad-hoc basis.
Our list administrators are not professional
counsellors. For professional advice or
counselling, we urge you to see your physician,
professional counsellor, or another health care
provider, as appropriate. We believe
that the SPALS mailing list / support group
facilitates a self-help response to overcoming the
challenges of subsequent pregnancy. Over time, we
expect that subscribers participating in SPALS
ultimately progress to a point where they no longer
require the support of their group -- or perhaps,
where their participation in the group is based
more on offering support from their experience of
overcoming their own personal challenges. The
principal expectation of the support group is that
each group member will progress, and ultimately
deal with or resolve their feelings and issues
raised, to the point where overwhelming feelings
are no longer controlling their life. We wish you
peace, and a successful subsequent
pregnancy. Medical
Information From time
to time SPALS members discuss treatments,
procedures and medication associated with fertility
and pregnancy. Such discussions are helpful for
information sharing and well within the mandate of
the SPALS mailing list. However,
while personal experiences concerning treatments,
procedures and medication may be shared by other
SPALS members, such information is anecdotal and is
not medical advice. All SPALS members must
be aware that advice regarding the applicability of
treatments and procedures, and the proper use of
any medication, natural or synthetic, should be
obtained from a qualified health
professional. If you
receive information or advice from list members
concerning treatments, procedures or medication,
your should assume it is provided YMMV ("your
mileage may vary") and may not necessarily apply to
your own personal situation. Providing
Assistance and Support From time
to time a SPALS member may appear to need
assistance and support beyond supportive email. All
SPALS members should be aware that membership in
SPALS is not an assurance of either an individual's
identity or personal circumstances. Providing
support to another individual is entirely at a
member's own discretion -- as is the member's
responsibility to satisfy themselves of the
legitimacy and propriety of such a need or
request.
