Therapy for Pregnancy Loss

Losing a baby is catastrophic.

The world stops. You experience feelings of despair, sadness, guilt, anger, and disbelief. Expectations of your envisioned life have been violated. Trust in your body is lost. Your faith is in question. Self-worth has diminished. You are scared. You feel alone. You feel rage.

Grieving a miscarriage is devastating. It can be lonely, especially with well-meaning family members and friends who don’t know how to comfort you.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve the loss of your baby.

Whether you experienced loss in the early or late stages of pregnancy or during birth, your vulnerable feelings are valid and need to be expressed.

Talking with a therapist about your miscarriage will not bring your baby back. However, it will provide you a safe space to work through your intense feelings of distress, sadness, and heartbreak. It is only through therapy, that you can begin to heal.

• Work through painful emotions surrounding the loss of your baby
• Learn how to communicate your feelings of grief with loved ones
• Cope with triggers such as the due date, other meaningful events, and pregnant family and friends
• Practice self-compassion as you heal
