Counseling for Perinatal Loss

Because your grief deserves to be heard, honored, and supported.

At Everlasting Wellness LLC, we recognize that pregnancy and infant loss is not just a medical event—it is a profound emotional and psychological experience that can shake the foundation of your identity, relationships, and future hopes.

Whether you have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), or neonatal loss, your pain is real. And while the world may urge you to “move on,” we believe in holding space for you to move through, at your own pace, in your own way.

Understanding the Grief of Perinatal Loss

Research shows that perinatal loss can result in a complex and prolonged grief response, sometimes accompanied by symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress (PTSD). For many, the early weeks after loss are marked by emotional numbness, intense sorrow, or physical exhaustion. Others may experience:

• Intrusive memories or nightmares

• Feelings of guilt, shame, or self-blame

• Isolation or the belief that “no one understands”

• Heightened anxiety about future pregnancies

• Disconnection from loved ones or strained relationships

• Difficulty functioning in daily life

• Thoughts of hopelessness or suicidal ideation

Every experience of loss is valid and unique—there is no “right” way to grieve. It’s common for partners to process the same loss differently, and well-meaning support systems may unintentionally minimize your pain.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your grief and begin healing. Through a trauma-informed and grief-sensitive approach, we work together to:

• Process the emotional and physical trauma of loss

• Identify and name your complex emotions without shame

• Restore a sense of connection to yourself and others

• Reclaim your voice, identity, and sense of safety

• Explore meaning, memory, and ongoing bonds with your baby

• Navigate future reproductive decisions with informed, compassionate support

We tailor every session to your unique needs, honoring your story, your pace, and your right to grieve in whatever way feels true for you.
