Return to Zero: Hope Provider Spotlight
Tell us a little about the work that you do
Our nonprofit organization provides free, online peer support groups for bereaved parents who have experienced a pregnancy and/or infant loss. We have groups that are general to specialized for early pregnancy loss, stillbirth loss, pregnancy after stillbirth loss, etc.
Why are you passionate about serving the pregnancy and infant loss community?
Experiencing the loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child brings unimaginable pain, grief, and isolation and is associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. Our groups provide non-judgmental support, information, and connection with others also experiencing a loss.
How has RTZ impacted your work?

Return to Zero: Hope is a community of bereaved parents, families, and providers offering inclusive resources and holistic support for anyone whose life has been touched by loss, including infertility, secondary infertility, miscarriage, ending a wanted pregnancy, stillbirth, infant or toddler death, loss through surrogacy or failed adoption.
Provider interactions during pregnancy and infant loss have a lifelong impact on a family’s healing and wellbeing. RTZ Hope supports organizations and individuals who work with parents who have experienced perinatal loss, including hospitals, clinics, health providers, midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, mental health clinicians, peer advocates, and support organizations. We partner with health professionals to ensure they have the training, emotional support, and resources they need to confidently care for families at one of the most tragic moments of their journey towards parenthood.
This year alone, we've sent over $3000 in grief and loss material samples to health providers so they are more resourced and empowered to support bereaved families. Will you donate and help us continue to get these resources into the hands of those that need them?
