When you learned that you were pregnant, you probably became filled with so many hopeful emotions. You probably pictured your baby’s birth, the day you would bring them home and their First birthday.  You looked forward to every little milestone in the years to come with them.

Miscarriage and Infant Loss can be one of the most devastating experiences a person can go through. Feelings of sadness, despair, guilt, anger, disbelief and rage are very common. It can be very difficult to talk about your loss, and your friends and family may not know how to comfort you or know what to say.

When you lose a baby, it can often feel like nobody understands your loss, not even your spouse. It hurts and is devastating. Most likely, it hurts worse than anything you’ve ever experienced.  Life doesn’t seem fair.  It’s hard to imagine moving forward.  Often times, you are simply going through the motions of life to get by.

Therapy for Pregnancy/Infant Loss Can Help

In the first weeks after a miscarriage or loss, just getting out of bed can be difficult. For some people, the emotional experience of loss can interfere with their ability to work, take care of themselves or their children, or engage in other parts of their life. Some women have intrusive nightmares or flashbacks about the loss. Some engage in destructive behavior or have suicidal thoughts.  Others feel stuck in their grief and need help moving forward.

Therapy provides a space for you to work through your sadness and intense feelings to help you navigate a path to healing.
