Grief and Loss Psychiatry logo. Focused care for bereavement after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.

Reproductive loss takes many forms —miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, abortion— and affects people of all identities. Whether recent or long ago, every story matters. We offer compassionate support for the emotional and mental toll of these often unseen losses.

Stressed Woman
 “People stopped asking how I’m doing, but I haven’t stopped hurting.” 
“I keep thinking—what did I do wrong?”
“I didn’t expect the grief to linger—I thought I’d be ‘over it’ by now, but it still catches me off guard.” 
“I wanted to be happy for my friend’s baby shower, but I had to leave in tears.”

Let's talk about grief, reproductive loss, and mental health.

Grief related to reproductive loss is real — even when it’s not visible or is minimized by others.

Whether you’re coping with a miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, failed fertility treatments, or the emotional impact of a long fertility journey, this kind of loss can be profound, isolating, and difficult to put into words.​

Silent Loss, Loud Grief

Not all losses are seen or spoken about. Early miscarriage, failed IVF, or private decisions about pregnancy may leave you grieving with little support or recognition.

Your grief doesn’t need permission to be real. We see it—and we support your healing.

If, When, or How You Want to Try Again

Hope after loss can be tender and complex. You may feel anxious, disconnected, or terrified of getting hurt again. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Your Grief Deserves Space

Grief doesn’t always fade.  It transforms. And you are allowed to carry it with love, honor, and support.

We're here to listen, hold your story with care, and help you heal in your own time.

Grief Looks Different for Everyone

Grief may look like sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or even relief — and these emotions can shift daily. You don't have to follow a timeline, and there is no "right way" to grieve.

Holidays, Anniversaries, & Due Dates

Certain days — or others’ celebrations — can reopen wounds you thought had healed, bringing unexpected waves of sadness.
 

You're not broken. You're remembering — and that means your love is still present.

Grief may show up as sadness, guilt, anger, numbness, or self-blame. It may appear immediately, or months—or even years—later. Some feel they don’t have permission to grieve or don’t know how to seek support.​ 

 

Whatever your story, you deserve care that acknowledges your pain, supports your healing, and meets you with compassion. Specialized psychiatric care holds space for the complexity of your experience and helps you feel less alone inside it.
