Welcome to our Pregnancy/Infant Loss Cubby |
|
I'm sorry you have to be here, whether you've lost a baby or you know someone who has. It's certainly not something we plan for or even expect. We hope you'll find support and hope in our very special cubby.

If you've recently (or even not so recently) lost a baby, Mother's Day can be a painful reminder of your grief. Here are some special Mother's Day messages to provide you with hugs and validation that you are still a mother.

| | º | Rebuilding Intimacy After Profound Loss by Paul Coleman, Psy.D.
This article was written to cover all types of profound loss. However, the tenets of this article hold true for pregnancy/infant loss as well. Losing a baby is a profound loss, and given that sexual intimacy played a part in conceiving the baby, such intimacy is usually greatly affected when the baby dies. Please read Dr. Coleman's article for more information. |
| | º | Remembrance Rose Garden
Submit your baby's name for posting in our Rose Garden. Your child will not be forgotten in this place of honor. |
| | º | For Family and Friends - Dos and Don'ts ~ Share your thoughts with us. What things did family and friends say or do that were helpful and what things were not helpful? We'll add to the list we've started here.
