The loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or shortly after birth is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. It brings a unique kind of grief — one that carries the weight of hopes and dreams that never had the chance to unfold. This type of loss can be difficult to put into words and is sometimes misunderstood by others, making it even harder to process. Whether the loss happened recently or years ago, it can leave lasting emotional impacts.
There is heartache. But there is also hope. Acknowledging this grief is an important step toward healing, and finding others who understand can offer comfort, connection, and support along the way.
Join our very own Dr. Mark Vande Braak on Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at 1 PM CT as he leads an online, educational grief support session to explore the unique loss associated with the death of an infant or newborn due to miscarriage or stillbirth.
This offering is part of “Dr. Mark’s Grief Support Series,” a program of year-round educational grief/loss support provided by Lutheran Family Service. Each session will focus on a different area of loss as presented by Dr. Mark, an expert with more than 30 years of mental healthcare experience in death and trauma. This is a FREE series with no registration fee. If you would like to join this session on the loss of a grandchild/niece/nephew, sign up below. Please share with anyone who may be grieving a loss of this kind.
