About this Event
During the holidays, it can be so hard to know how to handle the sorrow that comes up around the loss of your pregnancy, your baby, no matter how long ago it was. This gathering honors all that you hold, the love for this (or these) little ones, the sorrow that comes up when you least expect it, being with family when others may have babies or be pregnant. It is so rare to get to honor your baby, say their name, and have others understand this road.
This gathering is also a preview for the Hollows: A Grief-Tending Group for Pregnancy and Infant Loss beginning January 5th, a 12 week grief group for learning how to tend to your heart when you have to also show up for life. We will learn about the grief process, about practices that help, poems and myths that speak to these places.
If you sign up for The Hollows, the fee for this gathering applies to that 12 week group. More information or for a free consultation, go to JessicaMalmberg.com

Grieving in the Holidays: A gathering to honor your pregnancy and infant loss
Info: We will begin by welcoming you and offering you tea. We will sit in chairs in a circle, and you are invited to bring any object that reminds you of your child ,to put in the middle of the circle, where we will have flowers. We will have a grounding meditation for a few minutes to calm. Next Jessica will offer a poem and some teachings on grief and the unique aspects of grieving perinatal loss, and what can be helpful in this time. People can then share their experience of holding this grief in the holidays, what is hard and what helps them. We will write our children's names on paper and place them on a beautiful altar. We will end with a grounding practice.
