‘My baby has died’ - those words shouldn't be allowed to go together. It's unfathomable, it's unimaginable… until it happens to you. If you are reading this, if you have landed here, then there is a good chance that the worst possible thing has happened to you, that your baby has died. And first I just want to say I am so very sorry for your loss. It's devastating, it's unthinkable, it's unfair. The pain is so big you are scared you will crumble underneath the weight of this grief. 

Everything that you thought the future held, is now different, irrevocably changed. Your world was turned upside down and now you are faced with navigating this overwhelming grief and loss. 

You feel defeated, empty, emotionally drained, and devastated.

There is something uniquely isolating about being a loss mom. Baby loss makes us feel like we are all alone in this world. Maybe you suffer in silence, quietly, in stolen moments when the grief overtakes you. But you don’t have to endure alone.

Post loss, there is hope. How?

There are two important themes that guide my work with a client who has experienced baby loss. First is the fact that baby loss is just that— loss and grief. Second, these losses are unique because they are also often traumatic.

In therapy, our work together will undulate between coping, grieving, and healing from the traumatic aspects. We can accomplish this by helping you increase your ability to cope with the anxiety and depression symptoms that stem from this type of trauma and allow you the space to grieve. With loss there is no such thing as “moving on” but there can be a moving forward. Baby loss will change who you are, how you see the world, and how you make sense of things AND there is hope and new meaning possible post-loss.

I hope to help create a safe space in which you can grieve, cope and allow new meanings to unfold. Please reach out if I can do anything to help support you during this time.
