Virtual Perinatal Loss Support Group for Couples

Facilitated by Shelley Hermer

October 5 – November 23, 2021

Tuesdays 4:30-5:30pm PST, 7:30-8:30pm EST, 8:30-9:30pm AST

The loss of a pregnancy or baby can be devastating, complicated and often unrecognized–and this may have been especially true with COVID restrictions. Whether your loss is recent, or your grief feels more powerful at this time, our Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Group – specifically designed to support couples — can help offer a sense of connection, healing and hope. Participants can expect an opportunity to share and connect with other bereaved couples who have experienced this type of loss and who are grieving. This group has limited space in order to ensure opportunities to connect with one another over the course of the group, so we request that participants make a commitment to attend the full program. You will receive a phone call from the therapist who will be able to answer any questions you have prior to the first session.

The group is facilitated by a registered therapist with expertise in supporting parents who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and/or infant death, with the assistance of a peer-mentor who has lived experience of pregnancy/infant loss.

“We have our story of incredible sadness, and the group helped us find and tell the stories filled with love that we shared for our daughter.  We will bring that with us forever.” – Couple, Spring Session 2021
