Virtual Support Groups
A The Miscarriage Doula Support Group is Unlike Any Other…
→ Curated weekly sessions that focus on specific topics related to the grief that follows pregnancy and baby loss.
→ Meeting virtually and open to people globally.
→ Trauma-informed care that focuses on processing your experiences and navigating the days ahead.
Types of Groups
While these are the pregnancy loss experiences we currently offer support groups for, all losses are valid and deserve care. Our hope is to continue expanding so that, one day, we can meet every need.
-
For any woman/female who has experienced one miscarriage and doesn’t have living children. Someone who has had an abortion prior to this miscarriage or has step-children, would be welcomed in this group.
-
For any woman/female who has experienced recurrent pregnancy loss which is defined as two or more miscarriages/losses. This specific group would be for someone who has experienced recurrent losses and doesn’t have living children. Someone who has had an abortion prior to two+ pregnancy losses/miscarriages or has step-children, would be welcomed in this group. All types of loss are welcomed; chemical, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), ectopic, and molar.
-
For any woman/female who has living children and experienced one or more loss(es) of a sibling pregnancy or the loss of pregnancy following living children. All types of loss are welcomed; first trimester, second trimester, ectopic, chemical, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), and molar. The focus within this group is grieving alongside living children, grieving a sibling, and holding grief for your entire family.
-
For any woman/female who has experienced pregnancy loss during the second trimester. Open to anyone regardless of having living children prior to this loss or not.

"Arden's groups are like a big warm hug when you feel so alone in your grief. I love that Arden's groups are very specific so you can choose the group that really suits you. Each week there are topics to cover with resources created by Arden that you can use to reflect and process your grief."

FAQS
-
A miscarriage doula is a trained, non-medical support professional who provides emotional, informational, and practical support before, during, and after pregnancy loss. They walk alongside individuals and families through miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss, offering education, validation, advocacy, and grief support without judgment or timelines.
-
No—doula support is not therapy or mental health treatment. While sessions can feel deeply supportive and therapeutic, the role of a miscarriage doula is to offer education, emotional support, validation, and practical tools—not clinical diagnosis or treatment. Most of our clients see us in addition to traditional therapy.
-
Anyone impacted by pregnancy loss is welcome here—regardless of gestation, diagnosis, family structure, fertility journey, gender identity, or past outcomes. Support is available for individuals and couples navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, ectopic pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, and more.
-
Each session is guided by your needs. You may share your experience, explore how grief is impacting different areas of your life, ask questions about pregnancy loss, and receive gentle tools and next steps for coping and moving forward—at your own pace.
-
Support groups meet virtually and are small, intimate, and intentionally facilitated. Each week includes a meaningful topic, guided reflection, and space for sharing or listening. You’ll also have access to handouts, prompts, and a private group chat for continued connection.
-
Yes—partners are welcome in individual sessions if that feels supportive to you. Support groups are designed specifically for the person who carried the pregnancy.
-
Currently, miscarriage doula services are not covered by insurance. If you need documentation for HSA/FSA or reimbursement purposes, receipts can be provided upon request.
-
That’s completely okay. You’re welcome to reach out, and together we can talk through what kind of support might feel most helpful right now. You never have to figure this out alone.
