Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on what you mean by “normal”. The short answer is “no”. Grief, especially a miscarriage, changes you. Many people want to “just go back to normal” after their miscarriage and they skip over the part where they acknowledge the pain of losing their child, their dream. At first, the grief will be all consuming and there will be times when you feel like you are drowning or that you aren’t going to be able to handle the pain. With some time, the grief will change and will come in waves. At times you will think that you are doing fine and then something out of the blue will remind you of your loss and you will be a puddle again. Eventually, you learn to live with the grief, it doesn’t go away, you just grow around it. We will work on teaching you how to discover a new version of who you are after grief.

The grief of a miscarriage is a very unique type of grief. It can be traumatizing and isolating all at once. There is a lot of shame and guilt associated with a miscarriage and this can lead to you numbing the pain instead of healing the pain. The Miscarriage Warriors can help you find your way out of the dark hole where you feel so alone. We will work together to find tools and strategies that work for you so that you can understand and connect with who you are now.

In order to dive deep into what you are experiencing and what your healing journey will look like, we need to have a full hour. At Miscarriage Warriors we strive to meet you where you are. We will evaluate where you are in your miscarriage journey and determine how we can serve you best.

This is dependent on where you are in your miscarriage journey and what your needs are. At Miscarriage Warriors we strive to meet you where you are. We will evaluate where you are in your miscarriage journey and determine how we can serve you best. If you are at the beginning of your grief journey (within the first 2-3 weeks) we understand how difficult it is to engage in any type of conversations, so we offer support through texts or phone calls. If you are in the first three months of your journey, we offer 30 min micro sessions if you do not have the energy to meet for longer. Typically we will talk once a week or every other week for an hour.

At the beginning of your grief journey, you may find it difficult to talk about your loss. In this situation, we are available through text or phone calls to meet you where you are at emotionally. After you have had some time to process your grief, we transition our sessions to zoom calls. You can choose to have the video on the Zoom call on or off, depending on your comfort level.
-
That is what we are going to discover. Through our time together we will work on tools to help you process your grief, we will help you through any anxiety that may arise from doctor appointments, future pregnancies or uncomfortable decisions that need to be made. We will help you gain clarity on what is really important to you now. We will also work on ways to reconnect with yourself and your partner.

We get that life happens, and sometimes you might run a few minutes behind. We are happy to provide a 5-minute grace period for your appointments. Plus, you can reschedule once for free if something comes up. Just a heads up, if you arrive late, you’ll still need to pay the full fee for the session.
If you’re more than 5 minutes late and have already used your one-time rescheduling, you'll be responsible for the full session cost, and can reschedule your appointment at cost. This way, we can ensure everyone’s time is honored! -
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, which is why we offer a one-time grace opportunity for you to reschedule your appointment without any additional charges—because life happens. However, for scheduled appointments that are not cancelled within at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time, the full session fee will still apply.
