A Supportive, Understanding Space for Women Navigating Loss
Your grief is yours alone — but you don’t have to carry it alone while navigating the first year. This in-person peer support group is an intentionally carved out space for women who want to honor the love in their loss, feel their feelings, & lean into an authentic nurturing relationship with themselves and their babies. You may arrive on your own or with your baby, whichever is possible and/or the supportive choice for you.
Whether your loss is recent or years past, whether it’s the death of a beloved person or pet, the onset or progression of a life-altering illness, a perinatal loss, or another mortality-related loss that changed your life and is coming up postpartum—you are welcome here. Not too much, not too little—you, your life, your grief, are welcome here.
What to Expect
Limited group size for comfort and connection
