Have you or a loved one experienced the loss of an infant or unborn child, stillbirth, or miscarriage in Modesto, CA?
Pregnancy and childbirth are often thought of as joyous, happy times. People often don't talk about how things can go wrong. Often multiple miscarriages, stillbirth, infant loss, and SIDS go undiscussed and unhealed. Losing a child at any stage in life can be difficult, but it is even more frustrating when others don't understand the connection you had with an unborn child, or say well meaning (but unhelpful) things to try to make you feel better.
The loss impacts the mother, the father, the grandparents, friends, and everyone involved, and everyone is on their own journey towards healing. Unhealed grief from these events can lead to:
- poor sleep
- depression
- relationship conflict
- divorce
- anxiety
- isolation
- avoiding places and people with children
- difficulty connecting with previous children
- problems concentrating at work
- and more...
