  Without the familiar structure of levayah, shivah, and shloshim, grief can feel ambiguous and confusing. Our live teleconferences target the unique characteristics of reproductive loss, addressing topics such as trauma, am I still a mother, and what do I tell my siblings. This twice-yearly series includes 8 weekly presentations by medical professionals and therapists trained in reproductive trauma and bereavement care, followed by question-and-answer sessions. It is a safe space for bereaved parents to share their most painful questions and get individualized answers from experts in the field.

  Shabbos and Yamim Tovim are very vulnerable times for bereaved parents. Mrs. Malkie Klaristenfeld’s weekly Erev Shabbos emails are messages of connection, chizuk, and inspiration culled from the weekly parashah. Her pre-Yom Tov calls offer divrei chizuk and practical strategies for the painful reality of entering another Yom Tov with empty arms.

We offer gentle support around this tender time, helping parents prepare emotionally, feel less alone, and find ways to honor the day with compassion and care.
