Infant and pregnancy loss support

---

Firstly, we are so sorry for this complicated path to, and through parenthood. You are so BRAVE. This journey is difficult, but it’s not one you should walk alone. On this page you will find free resources, loss doula support, mentoring support, and pregnancy after loss support. Unfortunately pregnancy loss is not uncommon, but often not talked about. We want to give you the space to be open and work through your grief. Our meetings can be virtual or in-person and are one-on-one. Your experience is unique to you, and this process is different for everyone. We will take your lead and tailor our meetings around your needs.

Pregnancy Loss Doula & Immediate Support

If you are experiencing a loss or have just had a loss please reach out for a complementary call or meeting. Email info@flourishingfamilies.ca to arrange a call.

Mentoring Support

For many people on this journey, it can be helpful to relate to someone who has been in your shoes. Our mentoring sessions provide an open space to process your experience and discuss tangible tools to move through the grieving process. Typical sessions are 1 hour in length, as needed.                                $50/hour

Pregnancy After Loss

This is an exciting time for you, but can be full of mixed feelings. Our pregnancy after loss services can help you to stay present and grounded in your current pregnancy, while also honouring and acknowledging your loss. We will help you celebrate your milestones and process potential anxieties that come up for you. We are here to help you navigate this unknown territory. Typical sessions are 1 hour in length, monthly throughout your pregnancy or as needed. Email info@flourishingfamilies.ca to ask about our package options.                                                                                                                                                                               $50/hour

*If you are looking for a pregnancy loss group setting, please let us know and we will organize a support group meeting once we have enough interest. Email info@flourishingfamilies.ca

"But in all of the sadness, when you're feeling that your heart is empty and lacking, you have got to remember that grief isn't the absence of love. Grief is the proof that love is still there"~Tessa Shaffer
