If you are experiencing a loss, I am so very sorry and you have my deepest sympathies. Loss of any kind can be difficult, but you are not alone. I am a trained and certified bereavement doula through Stillbirthday and can support you through your loss no matter what trimester or outcome. I will be there to provide support as you process your loss and grieving and begin to heal. I will be there to walk with you on this difficult path and help you to consider all of your options. Stillbirthday is a wonderful resource for anyone experiencing a loss at any point during their pregnancy. They provide information, resources, suggestions and a place to tell your story. You can visit the site HERE.
Miscarriage, stillbirth or a loss during pregnancy is a very difficult time. It is full of emotions and hard times. I personally have experienced a miscarriage and know how difficult of a time it can be.
