This six-week online group offers a space for you and, if relevant, your partner to connect with other bereaved parents who have experienced similar losses. You’ll be invited to engage through conversation, reflection, and gentle guided writing exercises. No writing experience is necessary.
The group is led by family therapist Shelley Hermer, who brings extensive experience supporting individuals and couples navigating the loss of a pregnancy or an infant. Her steady presence helps create a compassionate, grounded environment where each parent’s grief is witnessed with care.
Because meaningful connection takes time, registration is intentionally limited, and we ask participants to commit to attending all sessions. Before the program begins, you will receive a phone call from the therapist to answer questions and help you prepare for the group.
To participate fully, you will need a device equipped with a microphone and camera and the ability to access Zoom.
