Why join us?
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Grief Circles
Pregnancy and infant loss is a deeply isolating experience, often leaving parents to navigate a world that doesn’t fully understand their grief. Our Pregnancy & Infant Loss Grief Circles offer a unique healing opportunity—a space to honor your grief and find comfort in a community with others who are on a similar journey. These gatherings are designed to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where participants can share their stories, process their emotions, and receive support.
​
Creating Space for Grief Rituals
In our society, there are few cultural frameworks for meaningfully honoring loss, especially when it comes to pregnancy and infant loss. Our grief circles aim to reclaim that space by offering intentional moments to remember your baby and process your grief. Through rituals like lighting candles, sharing memories, and guided meditations, we create a space for you to acknowledge your loss and honor your healing journey. These rituals provide a tangible, heartfelt way to process grief and find a sense of connection.
​
Who Can Attend?
Our grief circles are open to anyone who has carried a baby who has died, whether your loss was recent or occurred years ago. These intimate gatherings are designed for small groups to ensure a safe and supportive environment for sharing and healing. The circles are open exclusively to the person who carried the baby, allowing for deep, personal connection with others walking a similar path.
