This six week virtual support group is for couples (birthing parent + partner) who have experienced loss through infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, terminations for medical reasons, or infant death, whether more recently or in the past.
This group will meet on Wednesdays at 4:00pm to 5:30pm PST from January 8th, 2025 to February 19, 2025 (No session will be held on Feb 12, 2025).
Facilitators: Betsy Winter from RTZ: Hope and Rob Reider from SAD DADS CLUB
RTZ: HOPE and SAD DADS CLUB, in partnership with each other, are offering a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Couples (PAIL) group. This group is for birthing parents + their partners. It will be a closed group, 90 minutes each session and six sessions total.
You will be given an opportunity to share your personal story and hear others as they share their loss experiences. The topics that are covered may include: navigating your loss, the importance of mental health support, self care, navigating relationships that may be affected by your loss, and navigating difficult dates or times of year.
Our hope is you leave this group feeling supported and less alone. We want you to feel connected and carried by other participants. We want you to be resourced with tools and next steps to better support yourself and each other. It is our hope that community will be built with other participants and you will be given the opportunity to grieve, heal, and grow together, within the group setting as well as individually.
This group encompasses all forms of loss that might be experienced on the path to parenthood including miscarriage, stillbirth, terminations for medical reasons, infertility or infant death for singletons or multiples. Whether your loss experience was more recent or in the past this is an introductory support group that will help you to find your footing and build a foundation to your healing journey.
This group is inclusive to all bereaving parents and whomever is grieving the loss of their little one is welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, religion or disability. We believe all who join have something to contribute to the group. We do ask that couples/partners attend together weekly as this group is specifically for both of you.
