Perinatal Grief and Loss Support - CU Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Pregnancy is a time that is most often filled with joy and excited anticipation. We are so sorry that you are visiting this website, as it likely means that you or someone you love have recently received an unexpected diagnosis or are experiencing or have experienced fetal or infant loss. We hope this website will provide you with some helpful information about what may happen in the grief process and the many responses that may be experienced.
Grief is as unique as your own fingerprint. It is not expected that anyone will experience every aspect of what is written below, and some descriptions or scenarios may not fit with how you feel, what you are experiencing, or have experienced.
In the end, it is our hope that this website will aid in your understanding and help support you in your process. You are not alone on this journey. We are here to support you and the decisions with which you are being faced. We hope this information will provide you and your family support over the next days, weeks, months, and years.
