MiscarrIAge and Pregnancy Loss
Life after loss looks like:
Having many complicated emotions: loneliness, anger, guilt, shame, grief…
Feeling alone and isolated from others; nobody could possibly know how this feels.
Wondering if you will ever survive this grief or feel joy again.
Wanting for answers to all those “what ifs” and “whys” that no one can give you.
You are not alone.
In therapy, you can:
Learn coping strategies and tools to find peace and acceptance.
Give yourself compassion.
Process your thoughts and feelings without shame in a judgement-free space.
Unlearn unhelpful beliefs that keep you feeling stuck.
I have experience in supporting miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, abortion, and termination for medical reasons.
Asking for help is hard; I’m glad you are here.
