Miscarriages can cause a range of emotions, such as grief, guilt, anger, and loneliness, and it is often hard to find people who understand what you are going through.

Join us for a transformative workshop designed for those navigating the grief of miscarriage. Connect with others who understand your pain, share your experience in a safe and compassionate environment, and learn coping strategies from professionals and peers who had gone through this journey.

You're not alone
​on this journey -
​let's find hope and
​healing together.​

"I look forward to attend this workshop, so I can feel less isolated and more connected to God, and to the community of the Church.“ ~Mike
"Many couldn't understand our sorrow when we lost our child in the early gestation, They expected us to rebound right away, but mourning isn't a process that can be hurried. We want to know how we deal with our grief in a manner that neither dismisses nor forgets the invaluable and sacred existence of our child." ​~Gabriela

"Thank you for organizing this! I hope to help other parents with their grief, and I would like to learn this art of accompaniment. I'm also eager to find out what I can ask my pastor and community for support after a miscarriage." ~Sara

​Do not be discouraged and do not lose hope. Allow the consolation and love of God to penetrate and heal your wounded heart.  Know that your child is now living in the Lord and joyfully awaits the day when you will be together again.  
"For those who trust in God, in the pain of sorrow there is consolation, in the face of despair there is hope, in the midst of death there is life." (Book of Blessings no. 285)
