Losing a baby is one of the most heartbreaking and isolating experiences a parent can endure. The profound grief that follows such a loss can be overwhelming, with a sense of emptiness and an emotional weight that can feel impossible to carry. In these moments of profound sorrow, it can feel as though the world has shifted in a way that is hard to comprehend, leaving parents feeling lost and alone in their grief. "Grief Support 101" is a compassionate and supportive workshop specifically designed for parents who have recently experienced the unimaginable pain of losing a baby, whether during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Through guided discussions and expert-led insights, participants will learn supportive ways to navigate their grief, address the emotional and relational challenges it brings, and connect with others who have walked a similar path. In these difficult times, the workshop hopes to be a lifeline—an invitation to take small, compassionate steps forward in the midst of pain and to remind parents that they are not alone in their grief.

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.
