Infant or Child Loss Therapy
in Missouri & Utah
Infant or Child Loss
Infant or Child Loss is a profound and emotional journey that families navigate with grief and mourning. Both infant and child loss are deeply heartbreaking experiences that can shape the emotional landscape of families in profound ways.
Motherhood and Infant/Child Loss
Infant or child loss presents unique and profound challenges in motherhood. The grief and heartache of losing a baby or child can be an overwhelming emotional burden for mothers, leading to feelings of profound sadness, guilt, and a sense of loss that transcends words.
Losing a son or daughter may also impact a mother's sense of identity, as the dreams and expectations tied to their child is dramatically cut short. As a mother, we expect to see our children grow from infants to adulthood and even may have dreams of seeing our children have children of their own. When our son or daughter's life on earth ends, we may feel as though our dreams have gone along with them. It is important that a mother is able to feel all of her feelings while also find the place and time to keep living amongst this tragedy.
