Our monthly group meetings provide a forum for the open discussion of feelings and concerns. Parents are free to share in whatever way is most comfortable for them. Although there are no simple answers to the complex emotions surrounding the death of a baby, mutual reassurance is obtained in the group setting. Our meetings are open to loss parents only and are all inclusive. We do not allow children at any meetings whether virtual or in-person.

We offer 3 in-person peer support meetings and 4 virtual peer support meetings via Zoom per month.

Virtual Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Meeting
Sep

Virtual Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Meeting

Join us on our Virtual Support Meeting on Zoom. This meeting is facilitated by Jacqueline Azize-Brewer and Shannon Casey. Anyone is welcome to join the meeting. At this month's meeting we will have a guest speaker during the first half of the meeting. We are grateful that Janet Jaffe, Ph.D., has graciously agreed to speak this coming Wednesday. After Dr. Jaffe speaks we will have time for open sharing. Following is some information about our guest speaker.

Dr. Janet Jaffe, clinical psychologist, has devoted her career to helping others navigate the pitfalls and anguish that can occur on the road to parenthood. She works with patients in private practice, has trained countless mental health professionals in the US and internationally, and has written and lectured extensively on the topic, both for professionals and patients. Not only is she informed by years of academic scholarship,  but also from her personal experience. She knows from the inside what it  means to want to build a family, and what happens when those hoped for dreams come crashing down – whether due to miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, or other neonatal trauma. She also knows what it takes to move forward and rebuild from these unimaginable losses.

Books of note:

  • Unsung Lullabies: Understanding and Coping With Infertility (with  Drs. Martha and David Diamond)

  • Reproductive Trauma: Psychotherapy With Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Clients (First Edition) (with Dr. Martha Diamond)

  • Reproductive Trauma: Psychotherapy With Clients Experiencing Infertility and Pregnancy Loss (Second Edition)

  • Coming Soon! Healing From the Trauma of Pregnancy Loss: Reclaiming Your Reproductive Story (Available Winter 2026)
