Fertility Support maintains an online therapy group to support individuals that have experienced a pregnancy loss. This is a contained, compassionate and confidential space which aims to help individuals process and validate their emotions.

The Trauma of Pregnancy Loss

Pregnancy loss is a traumatic experience where the grieving parents can face feelings of disbelief, sorrow and grief, among other difficult emotions.  Parents who have suffered a pregnancy loss, often feel like their feelings are not understood by their family and friends and even by their own partners.  They suffer in silence, not knowing how to process their loss.  The longer a grieving parent delays seeking the right support, the longer the grieving period may extend. 

Fertility Support Provides a Contained, Compassionate, and Confidential Space to Process Pregnancy Loss

Our group therapy provides a contained, compassionate and confidential space to process a pregnancy loss.  The group format provides an opportunity to meet other parents who have undergone similar experiences, reducing feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood.  Further,  speaking with individuals who do not minimise the loss, but are ready to listen, understand and be empathetic can help process the traumatic loss and repair the grieving parent’s self-esteem.  Others’ compassionate perspectives can be transformational; they can help the bereaved to gradually return to embracing the living and the future, as opposed to remaining stuck in the past.
