Bereaved Moms Community Group: holding space for miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss
Every October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. This year, The Mother Well is hosting a bereavement retreat for mothers who have experienced miscarriage, still birth, or infant loss - whether recently or long ago.
We will come together in a tender and compassionate space for mourning at any stage. While your experience is uniquely your own, we join you in your grief.
Scholarship tickets are no-questions-asked thanks to our generous sponsors.
For questions or more details (such as virtual accommodations or full scholarship needs) please email: hello@motherwelldoula.com
