Perinatal Loss & Bereavement 

The loss of a baby is a unique kind of bereavement. Whether you have suffered a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, endured rounds of fertility treatments, or had to make the gut-wrenching decision to have a termination, and whether you have endured the shock of a stillborn baby or had to say goodbye to your little one in NICU, there is no hierarchy of grief when it comes to baby loss and you do not have to face this alone.

It can feel unimaginably painful to walk through a present and look into a future so different from the one we had imagined, and the difficulty of getting through each day can be even more pronounced when grief co-exists with trauma. English lacks a dedicated word to describe a parent whose child has died; sometimes the weight and extent of the loss feel too big for words, and bereaved parents often say that it can be very difficult to talk about their loss with others. Specialist therapy can help you to make sense of what has happened and give you space to process the emotions so that you can keep living whilst also honouring your baby’s memory and their place in your family.
