Grief & Loss Therapy
The pain of losing a pregnancy, baby, or child is unimaginable, and research shows it's often profoundly misunderstood.
Studies reveal that perinatal loss can trigger grief as intense as losing an adult loved one, yet parents frequently face disenfranchised grief: loss that isn't socially recognized or validated. You may have heard "at least it was early" or "you can try again" - words meant to comfort that instead leave you feeling more alone.
Maybe you've asked:
"Why did I miscarry?" "What causes stillbirth?""Am I still a mother after miscarriage?" "How long does grief last after losing a baby?""Is it normal to feel guilty after miscarriage?" "Why do I feel so alone after losing my baby?" "What do I say when people ask about my baby?" "Will I ever feel normal again after pregnancy loss?" "Why doesn't anyone talk about my baby?"
Whether your loss happened last week or years ago, whether it was an early miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, termination for medical reasons, or the death of a child - your grief is real, your baby mattered, and your pain deserves to be honored.
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and healing doesn't mean forgetting.
At Genesis, we offer specialized, compassionate therapy for parents navigating these deeply personal losses. We understand that every loss is unique, and we create space for you to process at your own pace - without pressure to "move on" or "be strong." You don't have to carry this heavy load alone.
Your baby mattered, your grief is real, and you don't have to carry this alone.
Grief may show up as:
Emotional numbness or constant crying; insomnia or nightmares; guilt, shame, or self-blame; avoidance of baby-related spaces, friend/family having babies, conversations, or triggers; difficulty connecting with your partner, others, God, or yourself; feeling like your identity or future has been shattered; anger at your body, medical providers, or the unfairness of it all; anxiety about future pregnancies or parenting after loss.
We support grief after:
Early and late miscarriage; stillbirth and neonatal death; infant or child loss; termination for medical reasons (TFMR); abortion; missed miscarriage and D&C recovery; ectopic pregnancy; molar pregnancy; silent or unacknowledged losses that others minimized or dismissed; secondary infertility loss; and the ongoing grief of parenting and living after loss.
