Join a Virtual Support Group

As loss moms ourselves, we know how isolating the world can feel after a miscarriage or loss of a pregnancy. We’ve created support groups that meet the needs of the people in the pregnancy loss community.

We Truly Get It

Finding a support group in the middle of hardship can feel overwhelming. You want a space that feels gentle and supportive—not one that leaves you feeling triggered, unseen, or more alone than when you arrived. Many people are craving connection and community, but fear getting lost in a group that doesn’t quite fit.

Our support groups are intentionally created for the pregnancy loss community, with care and thought behind every detail. As loss moms ourselves, we know how deeply it matters to be able to show up from the safety of your own home and to sit alongside others whose stories feel painfully familiar. You don’t have to explain everything here. You belong as you are.

How Our Groups Work

  • Each of our pregnancy loss specific support groups meet once a week for six weeks using Zoom.

  • Through each call you’ll be given curated topics, resources, handouts, and reflective prompts to help you prepare for the session ahead.

  • Between zoom calls, you’ll have our private group chat for continued conversations and for receiving support in real time.

  • Each group has a maximum of 10 people so we have an intimate space where everybody will be heard and seen each week.

  • Moderated by a Certified Bereavement Doula with personal loss experience, you’ll get professional support that feels like a close friend.

GET NOTIFIED OF NEW SUPPORT GROUPS

  • Once you register, you’ll receive a receipt to your email that serves as a confirmation. Then within 24 hours, you’ll receive a personal email welcoming you to the group and letting you know what to expect moving forward.

  • The group sessions will be held via zoom. We will email you a link each week so you can join our private virtual room — this often works without zoom downloaded but may work better if you can download it and create a free account. We also use WhatsApp for the group chat, which is also a free app!

  • If you register for the group and are not feeling like the group setting is the right space for you, I welcome you to reach out to us (themiscarriagedoula@gmail.com) so we can figure out a path forward. Our refund policy gives everyone the chance to try the group before deciding. The refund policy is if you withdraw prior to the second group call, you will get a 75% refund. Otherwise, on a case by case basis.

  • Over the five years of The Miscarriage Doula, we’ve learned a lot about what helps our community feel safest and most supported. When events are free, we lose the ability to thoughtfully shape the group and protect the kind of space we work hard to create. We also keep our groups intentionally small, and charging helps ensure that spots are held by people who are able to attend and engage, so we can offer the level of care and connection you deserve.

    Fees for our offerings also directly support our work and our family. We give generously of our time whenever we can, but we aren’t able to offer everything for free. Thank you for understanding and for valuing the care behind this work.

    If you need financial support, fill out this form here — we promise that you’ll always get support no matter what.
