Supporting Families Through Loss (Yes, Midwives Do That Too)

Care that holds space when outcomes change

Not every pregnancy ends with a baby in arms.

As a midwife, I support all outcomes—not just the joyful ones. That means being there through miscarriage, stillbirth, and all kinds of loss.

It means:

• Holding space for grief, not rushing to "fix" it

• Supporting you with practical care—monitoring vitals, managing physical recovery

• Offering referrals for therapy, community, or spiritual support

• Writing letters for time off or accommodations

• Saying their name, honoring your bond, and reminding you: you are still a parent

Loss is isolating. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. You deserve a provider who can hold your grief with gentleness and skill.

If you’re walking through a loss now—or if you’ve held it quietly for years—this is a place where your experience is honored.

You are not alone. And you are never too much.

My experience includes supporting families through miscarriage, stillbirth, and other forms of loss with compassion, skilled care, and ongoing support. You deserve a provider who can hold your grief with gentleness.
