Pregnancy Loss
A loss is a loss, no matter when it happened.
Pregnancy loss is one of the most under-witnessed griefs there is. The world tends to move on within days. The medical system uses language that flattens what you went through. The people who love you don't know what to say. And meanwhile, you are carrying something enormous.
This work is here to give that grief a real room: without timelines, without comparisons, and without the pressure to be "okay" before you are.
You might recognize
If any of this feels familiar.
"Everyone thinks I should be over it by now. I'm not."
"The hospital sent me home and nobody told me what to do with this."
"It was 'early' and everyone keeps saying so. It doesn't feel early."
"I can't be around pregnant friends right now and I feel like a monster."
"We had to make the decision and the grief is layered with guilt."
"Another loss. I don't know how to keep doing this."
What pregnancy loss therapy includes.
- Miscarriage: early loss, late first trimester, second trimester, missed miscarriage, chemical pregnancy
- Recurrent pregnancy loss: when each loss adds to the last instead of feeling separate
- Stillbirth: birth and grief at once, and the long aftermath
- Termination for medical reasons (TFMR): the specific grief, isolation, and decision-weight that comes with these losses
- Ectopic pregnancy: including the medical trauma layered on top
- Loss in IVF: failed transfers, failed cycles, embryos lost in the lab
- Anniversary grief: due dates, loss dates, milestones that would have been
- Pregnancy after loss: the layered work of carrying again
Things people don't say enough about pregnancy loss.
It's not "common, so it's fine." It is common, and that's exactly why it deserves real care.
Your partner is grieving too, and likely in a completely different shape. We can work on this together if helpful.
Anniversaries can hit you a year out, five years out, twenty years out. That's not something being wrong with you. That's love continuing to exist.
How the work goes
What therapy actually looks like here.
We don't rush. We work at the pace your nervous system can actually metabolize. I'm trained in the Trauma Resiliency Model, which is especially helpful when grief is held in the body, and pregnancy loss almost always is.
Couples sessions are available if you'd like to do part of this work together. Many people find a combination of individual and couples sessions most useful.
