Pregnancy & Infant Loss Additional Resources
SevenPonds recommends the following resources to our clients who wish to learn more about pregnancy and infant loss.
Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support
This organization (Share) operates as a vital national touchpoint for families navigating the immediate and long-term aftermath of miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death. By providing a blend of virtual support groups, packet resources, and targeted peer connections, it fosters a community where grief is openly validated rather than silenced. Their secondary focus includes educating employers, friends, and spiritual leaders on how to properly sustain the family unit during profound bereavement.
Return to Zero: H.O.P.E. (RTZ Hope)
RTZ Hope bridges the gap between grassroots peer support and clinical mental health practices, specializing in holistic healing pathways for families experiencing reproductive trauma. The non-profit designs trauma-informed processing workshops and specialized retreats tailored to different stages of the grief journey, including spaces for mothers ready to physically and emotionally reconnect with themselves. Additionally, they provide crucial, structured guidance for families navigating the complex anxiety of a subsequent pregnancy after a loss.
Postpartum Support International (PSI) – Perinatal Loss Care
While globally recognized for maternal mental health advocacy, PSI maintains a highly specialized, dedicated wing focused entirely on reproductive and infant loss. They offer free, weekly online support groups facilitated by trained mental health professionals who understand the intersecting biological and psychological challenges of postpartum grief. By ensuring accessible, remote care, PSI protects vulnerable parents from having to suffer in isolation during their darkest moments.
Pregnancy Loss and Infant Death Alliance (PLIDA)
PLIDA serves as a central international framework that connects healthcare practitioners, researchers, and parent advocates to standardize the quality of perinatal bereavement care. The alliance develops evidence-based practice guidelines and position statements used to train hospital staff in relationship-based, trauma-informed bedside communication. Their work ensures that hospitals view compassionate bereavement care as a mandatory clinical imperative rather than an optional service.
