If you are pregnant again after a loss, you may have unique emotional needs as you grieve your lost child(ren) while preparing for the birth of a new baby. Our support group addresses the concerns of bereaved parents who have started another pregnancy in safe and supportive environment. Please join us to share information, feelings and support with other parents who are pregnant after miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death. Partners are especially encouraged to attend. The group facilitator is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in trauma and loss, and also a bereaved parent with two subsequent children. This group is free and no registration is required.
