Perinatal Loss Support

Perinatal Loss refers to the death of a fetus or newborn baby during pregnancy or shortly after birth, and can include miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death.  Losing a baby at any time can be an overwhelming experience; parents may experience shock, anger, hopelessness, deep sorrow, and other very painful and disorienting feelings.  

You are not alone in your grief.  This monthly hybrid group is led by skilled facilitators and is open to anyone affected by perinatal loss.  The group offers space and time to connect and share with others who have had similar experiences.  We hope you will join us.

Group Guidelines:

• Open to all parents and loved ones affected by perinatal loss
• Sharing is welcome, but not required
• All choices and emotions are respected without judgment
• All discussions are confidential
• Led by compassionate facilitators with lived and professional experience
