Pregnancy & infant loss
Support for grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.
What it is
Loss during pregnancy or shortly after birth is a distinct kind of grief — often unwitnessed by others, sometimes minimized by people who didn't know the pregnancy was happening, and frequently accompanied by complicated feelings around future pregnancies.
Good to know
This grief deserves the same weight as any other major loss, regardless of how early in pregnancy it happened or whether others knew about it.
What helps
Peer support from others who've experienced pregnancy or infant loss specifically, alongside counselling, tends to address the isolation that often makes this grief feel unspeakable.
When to seek help
Reach out whenever feels right — there's no required waiting period, and no loss is “too early” or “too small” to warrant support.
