What is Prenatal & Infant Loss Therapy?
So many parents experience miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant loss-and yet, the grief that comes with these losses is often minimized or misunderstood, even by well-meaning partners, family, and friends. These experiences are far more common than most people realize, and each carries its own emotional, physical, and relational complexities.
If you’ve gone through one of these losses, you deserve to talk with someone who truly understands the depth of what you’re feeling. You deserve a therapist who won’t try to rush you through your grief, dismiss your experience, or overlook how these losses can affect relationships-especially when conception has been a long or difficult journey. It’s also important to acknowledge that gestational and non-gestational parents may grieve differently, and both experiences deserve validation and support.
As someone who has experienced prenatal loss, I want you to know: you are not alone. Your grief is real, and it matters. You and your relationship deserve space to process, mourn, and begin identifying a new path forward-whatever that looks like for you.
