“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted...." Psalm 34:18

Losing a child, no matter how small they are, is always a tragedy. One in four mama's will experience a miscarriage. I didn't know how common it was until I went through it myself! Support is essential when going through loss. If you or someone you know is at risk for, or going through the journey of any kind of pregnancy loss, please consider reaching out to me. 

I am currently in training to be a bereavement doula. The types of loss I am being trained for include:

• Fertility Struggle
• Chemical Pregnancy (miscarriage prior to ultrasound)
• Honoring Uncertainty (“I maybe miscarried.”)
• Blighted Ovum
• Ectopic Pregnancy
• Molar Pregnancy
• Threatened Miscarriage
• Inevitable (or Incomplete) Miscarriage
• Missed Miscarriage (or “Silent Miscarriage”)
• Complete Miscarriage
• Live Miscarriage
• Unexpected Diagnosis (and the right to grieve)
• Vanishing Twin/papyraceus
• Twins or More
• Selective Reduction
• Recurrent Miscarriage
• Fertility Challenges
• Finding Peace with Pregnancy
• Elective Abortion
• Stillbirth
• Difficult or fatal in pregnancy
• NICU grief
