Expansive Heart Mom Support Group: Pregnancy Loss

Pregnancy loss is more common than we, as a society would like to admit. Pregnancy loss is not limited to miscarriage. There are many different ways that we can experience “loss,” and in this workshop, everyone who has experienced a loss, are welcome. Those of us who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy tend to struggle with feelings of intense sadness, shame, and an overwhelming sense of isolation. For many of us, our mourning process is done in secrecy, as if our loss is something to be ashamed of, as if our loss is a predictor of who we are or what we are capable of as people and/or as mothers. Every story of loss is different, and yet the feelings associated with loss are very similar. This workshop will provide a space for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss to come and share your experience, your grief, and perhaps your hope, with a group of trusted people who have experienced a loss of their own. We don’t have to do anything alone, including grieving something that is so common and yet, so forbidden to discuss openly in our culture. Wherever you are in your grieving process, you are welcome. You are not alone.
