Compassionate and safe space for individuals and families coping with the loss of a pregnancy or infant. Through guided discussions, shared experiences, and emotional support, we help members navigate grief, find comfort, and connect with others who understand. Each 90 minute session includes guided conversations around themes of loss and healing and time for open sharing. Participation is always at your own pace - silence is welcome, tears are welcome and all experiences are welcome.
The group is not about "moving on", but about walking alongside one another in grief and remembrance.
