Infertility, IVF failures, and pregnancy loss can create a grief that feels unrelenting. Well-meaning friends may say “at least you can try again” or “be grateful you were pregnant at all” - remarks that comfort them but deepen your loneliness and disconnection.

In therapy with us, you won’t hear platitudes. Here, your pain is honored, not minimized.

Why This Grief Hurts So Much

• Invisible loss: There’s no funeral, yet your heart is breaking.

• Relentless uncertainty: Each cycle, scan, or test re-opens hope…and fear.

• Societal pressure: You’re expected to “keep it together” at work, at home, everywhere.

• Conflicting roles: Supporting others while barely staying afloat yourself.

You may feel you have to downplay or hide your anguish just to function. You don’t.

How Therapy Helps After Infertility or Pregnancy Loss

In our work together, you can:

1. Name the loss: whether it’s a miscarriage, stillbirth, failed IVF cycle, or the loss of imagined futures.

2. Process layered emotions of sadness, anger, guilt, and anxiety without judgment.

3. Navigate triggers: pregnancy announcements, doctor visits, social media - and build coping tools.

4. Honor your story at your own pace, without pressure to “move on.”

5. Re-discover meaning and create space for hope, even when the path ahead is uncertain.

Grief has no timeline. We’ll walk it together, one compassionate step at a time.
