Losing a child—whether through pregnancy loss, the death of an infant or toddler, or the loss of the hope of a child at any point in the family-building journey—is profoundly devastating and often traumatic. Many parents are left trying to understand their intense grief and the reality of navigating life after loss on their own.

“Grief Support 101” is an educational workshop designed to provide immediate support, understanding, and guidance following any type of loss on the family building journey.

This is not a drop-in processing or story-sharing support group. While there is space for connection and reflection, the focus is on education, support, and compassionate guidance in the early stages of grief.

For more intimate, ongoing support and deeper connection, please join one of our multi-week closed support groups.

Host: Betsy Winter
Date: Thursday, May 7, 2026
Time: 5:00pm to 6:00pm PST / 8:00pm to 9:00pm EST
Cost: Free to attend

• More About Our 2026 Workshop Series

  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.
