In-Person Support Group

Seacoast Parents Coping with Perinatal Loss is a group of NH Seacoast area families who have lost, or love someone who has lost, a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. They share support and fellowship in safe spaces for discussion about their feelings and their babies.  The meetings also occasionally include guest speakers on appropriate topics for grieving families, or creative or artistic opportunities to express and experience personal growth

Wentworth-Douglas Hospital contracts with me to provide this free monthly in-person meeting. You do not have to be a Wentworth Partners patient to take advantage of this generous support. You are welcome regardless of where you are a patient

Monthly meetings are generally held on the first Thursday of the month from 6:00 PM- 7:30 PM.  In October, we always meet on October 15th to have a Remembrance Ceremony for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day.

Historically we have met at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, NH, but since covid, we have been meeting in my home.

I think you will find our group to be welcoming, comforting, and supportive. We have an amazing group of active and connected members.

You can find meeting details on Facebook, the events page of this site, or you may contact me directly for questions or current meeting status.

When you register you will be given a Zoom link and password. The first meeting is free for new members. Contact me directly for access to your first meeting.

Private Facebook Perinatal Loss Support Group

Our private Facebook group is a great first step to take in your grief journey.  The group is screened to ensure privacy. Members are restricted to local NH/ME seacoast loss families and a few local professionals.  You may choose to explore the group by just reading posts and learning from other members’ posts. If and when you feel ready, you are welcome to share your story, photos or ideas with the group, as well as ask for some extra support on those really hard days.

Private Facebook Group for Fertility Support

Fertility struggles are a grief experience all their own. With so many levels of grief, the grief or loss of control of our family planning, the monthly grief of the two-week wait while trying to conceive, recurrent losses… so many aspects to deal with, not to mention the complexities of navigating fertility diagnosis, treatment, and financial costs. This is a safe spot to gather with local women for local information and support as you seek to grow your family despite fertility struggles.

Annual Remembrance Ceremony

Each year Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Sponsors a special ceremony on OCTOBER 15TH; International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

This family-friendly event will provide your family, close friends, and loved ones an opportunity to commemorate your baby’s life and keep their memory alive, as well as show your support for other families going through similar pain.

You can find more details about this year’s ceremony on our event page
