Perinatal Grief & Loss
Healing from any significant loss demands time, patience and courage. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death are particularly challenging as couples face the loss of hope, the absence of etablished rituals of mourning, and the consequent social isolation and loneliness. In such difficult times therapy can:
Provide you with a sense of safety and connection to others
Allow you to freely express the intensity of your grief, and to explore the various emotional states you might experience (protest, anger, chaos, longing, sadness, resignation, disappointment, despair, acceptance)
Help you create personal and family rituals to ease your grief
Enhance your understanding of your own and your partner’s styles of grieving
Aid you in caring for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health
