Beyond the First Year After Pregnancy and Infant Loss

As the world moves on and the first year passes, many bereaved parents find themselves facing a new wave of challenges, emotions, and shifts—often with less visible support and fewer places to turn. This 90-minute workshop is a space to explore what life can look and feel like in the second, third, and beyond years after pregnancy or infant loss. This is a space for you if you’re wondering “Shouldn’t I be better by now?” or feeling pressure to have moved on.

You are not alone, and there is no expiration date on grief or love. This workshop offers validation, connection, and compassionate tools to support your continued healing journey—no matter how much time has passed.

This workshop is open to birthing and non-birthing parents.

  • The journey of love, loss and life after loss looks different for everyone. Return to Zero: HOPE will be hosting a workshop series designed to provide supportive spaces for the diversity of our lived realities that come with our individual pregnancy and infant loss experiences. Our hope is to provide helpful resources and tools that encourage holistic healing. These workshops will uniquely support parents and providers through a trauma informed, resilience-focused, somatic approach.

    These workshops will be interactive. There will be time to share, time to write and reflect, and in some sessions opportunity more movement. Please have available a water bottle, paper and pencil, and a quiet space.

    Consider joining a workshop if:

    -It is true to your lived experience
    -You want to better understand a topic to support loved ones
    -It piques your interest
    -It feels like it might be supportive to where you are on your journey.

    All are welcome.

  • Betsy Winter, our Director of Community Support, will host these workshops. She is a perinatal mental health advocate and certified Mind Body coach, who specializes in grief, trauma, and embodied transformation. To read her full bio click here.
