Experiencing a miscarriage or pregnancy loss is devastating. Losses are often isolating and confusing; it can feel impossible to understand what has happened, and even more challenging to find the words to talk about it. Although losses are common, those who have experienced them may find it impossible to talk about. Pregnancy loss is often dismissed or brushed aside; when sharing about a miscarriage or loss, you may be faced with insensitive and unhelpful comments. The lack of understanding and compassion often adds to feelings of sadness, grief, and the complexity of your loss. Many people find themselves navigating the depths of their sorrow alone in a time when they need connection and care.

Pregnancy loss can create profound feelings of fear and anxiety about the future. Will I ever be able to have children? Will I be able to have a healthy pregnancy in the future? Pregnancy loss can shake your foundation; am I a mother? Am I a parent? Your identity has shifted, and you maybe no longer know where you fit in. Existential questions about the future of your own life, identity, and family are often at the forefront during this time.

Pregnancy loss is an umbrella for many experiences: miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, terminating for medical reasons (TFMR), stillbirth, abortion for medical reasons and more - all profound experiences of loss. In my work, I walk alongside my clients as they face the depths of their experience and try to find understanding or healing from their loss. I am honoured to work with my clients as they confront their experiences, holding space for the complexities of each individual’s journey.
