Grief and Loss Support
Grief in our lives in inevitable. Knowing that doesn’t make the pain less or leave. What can help is non-judgmental support. Affirmation. Reminders that you can both move forward while keeping the memories, plans and love that you experienced in excitement of becoming a parent. You are allowed to grieve it all. You are also allowed to heal on your timeline and with the support you need. Grief ain’t binary. We don’t do that over here.
I support folks moving through grief for the following:
Miscarriage
Stillbirth
Late Term Abortion
Receiving a diagnosis that baby may live for a short time after birth
Receiving a diagnosis that baby is disabled or ill and will need more support than you are prepared for
