A 60-minute virtual panel: Pregnancy After Loss: Sharing the Journey will be a discussion on the complex and deeply personal journey of Pregnancy After Loss (PAL). Our panelists will share their unique experiences of navigating pregnancy after loss — holding space for both hope and fear, joy and uncertainty — while moving forward after grief.
Pregnancy After Loss can be an emotional and layered experience. It often brings a mix of cautious optimism, anxiety, and reflection, as parents carry both love for the baby they lost and hope for the baby they are expecting. For many, this journey includes navigating triggers, redefining expectations, and learning to attempt to trust their bodies and emotions again.
Join us for a compassionate community conversation exploring how individuals experience and cope with pregnancy after loss. Our panelists will share personal reflections and insights on:
Navigating the emotional complexity of being pregnant after loss
Coping with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty throughout pregnancy
Honoring their loss experience while preparing for another life
Managing relationships with family, friends, and medical providers
Setting boundaries and advocating for emotional and physical needs
Finding support, connection, and moments of hope along the way
Guided by our facilitator, Lindsay Henke, this conversation offers a supportive space to reflect, learn, and feel less alone. Whether you are currently pregnant after loss, considering trying again, or supporting someone on this journey, this event invites you to connect with others who understand the delicate balance of grief and hope.
Through storytelling and shared experiences, we aim to reduce the stigma surrounding pregnancy and infant loss, while bringing visibility to the unique challenges of pregnancy after loss. This special panel, made up of those who have experienced loss and are navigating or have navigated pregnancy again, will speak openly about their journeys.
Attendees will watch the panel discussion with an opportunity to ask questions to panelists at the end.

Our goal for our Community Conversations is to give a voice to the grieving and break the silence and stigmas that exist in the pregnancy and infant loss community. We want our audience to feel less alone by hearing other voices in the community sharing similar stories to their own. We also want to provide helpful resources and tools that encourage overall holistic healing for those grieving.
