Second Trimester Loss Support Group

  • 10 left

A support group that highlights the toll of navigating pregnancy loss during the second trimester. In this support group, you’ll connect with people who have also experienced a second trimester loss while discussing topics that support your recovery as you move forward through grief.

WHY OUR GROUPS ARE DIFFERENT:

Certified Doula Moderators with Personal Experience: Each group is led by a certified doula who has walked this path themselves. They bring not only expertise but also a deep, personal understanding of the grief and challenges that follow pregnancy loss.

Intimate and Supportive Cohorts: With a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 participants, our groups foster trust, connection, and meaningful sharing in a safe and intimate space.

Structured Yet Flexible Topics: Over six weeks, we’ll tackle key aspects of coping and adjustment, including:

  • Identifying and managing emotional triggers.

  • Navigating friendships, relationships, and family dynamics.

  • Coping with the return to work and creating a "new normal."

  • Addressing intimacy, body trust, and secondary losses.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Practical strategies to manage stressors and rebuild a sense of control.

  • Tools for processing grief and honoring your journey.

  • A community of people who truly get it—a space to share, listen, and heal together.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or have been walking this road for a while, our groups offer a compassionate lifeline.

Spaces are limited to ensure meaningful connection. Sign up today and take the first step toward healing.

Because no one should grieve in silence.

HOW DO OUR GROUPS WORK?

We get it, joining a support group is scary -- here's what you can expect from our groups!

Weekly Zoom Calls*

Over the duration of the cohort — you’ll meet each week over zoom to discuss the topic of the week, hold space for grief, and connect with the others in the group. — some cohorts might be longer, shorter, or meet twice a month —

Personal Emails from Your Doula

We lead our groups with our hearts and want the entire experience to be personal, casual and professional at the same time. Each week of your cohort, you’ll receive an email from your moderator (Arden or Sarah) with what to expect from the weekly call, information on the topic, and handouts that relate to the topic or what you’re struggling with. We don’t automate anything and always take the time to personalize our emails and correspondence.

Private Group Chat

Your cohort will have a private group chat on WhatsApp and that group chat is yours to keep. That means during the cohort, it’s space to continue connecting and after the cohort is over, you will continue to have that lifeline.

Carefully Planned Weekly Topics

Arden (our founder) has curated the ideal lineup for topics surrounding miscarriage, pregnancy loss, grief and trauma. Over the course of your group, you’ll cover all of the main topics so that when the group is over, you have the ground working for coping after pregnancy loss.

Curated Handouts + Resources

Arden (our founder) has created 10+ resources that match our curriculum. They are yours to keep and we encourage you share them with your partner, too!

PRAISE FROM PAST GROUP MEMBERS

"I did two recurrent pregnancy loss support groups with Arden and it helped me so much during a really tough time. I’ve recommended Arden’s support groups and 1:1 services to multiple friends and they also had great things to say about the support they received. Couldn’t recommend Arden and her support groups enough. Really helped me to heal emotionally as well as gain good information on testing, vitamins, etc to bring back to my fertility team. I still keep in touch with some of the women in my groups as well. If you unfortunately need the support after loss, please use the miscarriage doula!" - Sarah

"Wow I’m so happy my friend told me about this support group. I loved the first one so much I signed up for a second session after my second miscarriage. This was the support I needed." - Sam

'During the 6 weeks of the grief support group, I felt the edges of my grief soften. When my group began, a couple months after my loss, the pain was so raw, my anger and sadness felt like it was multiplying so quickly that nothing I tried could offer any lasting comfort. I couldn’t push people away fast enough, I couldn’t punish myself hard enough. Meeting with other women who also felt this loss so deeply provided gave my grief a place to rest, to be seen, to finally feel comfort. I still grieve my loss but am now better able to focus on the love I gained and find comfort in the short time I had with my baby." - Megan

FAQS + POLICIES

All of your questions -- answered

What's your refund policy?

We know that group support isn't for everyone and while we try to make our support bridge the gap in other offerings -- sometimes it doesn't feel like the right time. We will offer a 75% refund if you withdraw from the group prior to the start date/time of the second support session. After that time frame, it's on a case to case basis and the percentage may change.

What happens if I (or someone) becomes pregnant in the group?

Some people join our groups after their miscarriage and while they are trying to conceive again which means pregnancy is a possibility. We ask that there be NO pregnancy announcements during our cohort as we want to focus solely on grief. We find from past group members that the group is really helpful and great during the early days of PAL too as you tend to still relate to grief topics however if you'd like to change groups, we can discuss that privately if the time comes!

Are these groups inclusive to someone who is SMBC or no longer with their partner?

We aim for our groups to be as inclusive as possible. While there is a week that we discuss partners and their support -- your moderator will be privately checking in with you and making sure that we shape that conversation to benefit you as well. In past groups, we've heard from single women that it's still helpful to reflect on their previous partners and single-women-by-choice find it helpful to reflect on how they cope with doing this along and without the partner support. We hold the space for all of it!
