Throughout the year, I run a weekly group for women dealing with the complex emotional anguish of repeated pregnancies – or near pregnancies – that end in loss. We meet on zoom, one evening a week for 90 minutes over six weeks.

Repeated loss is a gruelling experience that we bear, although unbearable. It’s hard to understand from the outside and can make us feel desperate, lonely and despairing. Our meetings can’t promise ‘healing’ or ‘closure’ as an outcome, but they offer community, reflection, and an opportunity to be met with kindness, empathy, and practices to develop an essential skill of self-compassion. More on what the weeks entail can be found here.
