This six-week online group offers a space for you and, if relevant, your partner to connect with other bereaved parents who have experienced similar losses. You’ll be invited to engage through conversation, reflection, and gentle guided writing exercises. No writing experience is necessary.

The group is led by family therapist Shelley Hermer, who brings extensive experience supporting individuals and couples navigating the loss of a pregnancy or an infant. Her steady presence helps create a compassionate, grounded environment where each parent’s grief is witnessed with care.

Because meaningful connection takes time, registration is intentionally limited, and we ask participants to commit to attending all sessions. Before the program begins, you will receive a phone call from the therapist to answer questions and help you prepare for the group.

To participate fully, you will need a device equipped with a microphone and camera and the ability to access Zoom.

This 8-week online program provides opportunities for adults who are bereaved to connect, to share their experiences of loss in a supportive environment, to honour their loved ones, and to learn strategies that can assist them in coping as they grieve.

The structured portion of each session lasts for one hour. Afterwards, participants have the option of staying online for an additional half hour for informal conversation, community building, and gentle connection.

Group members are asked to commit to attending all eight sessions of the series, and to notify the group leader in advance if they are unable to attend. Registration is limited to twelve participants to ensure the group remains intimate and supportive. To take part, you will need a computer, tablet, or phone equipped with a microphone and camera, and the ability to access Zoom.

Groups are facilitated by experienced therapists, assisted by trained volunteers. Specific group guidelines and technical requirements will be sent to participants shortly before the start of the program.

Facilitated by counsellor and published writer Tama Recker, this series is suitable both for those with no writing experience and for seasoned writers. Participants are guided to access creative thinking and mindfulness practices that support listening to inner thoughts, feelings, and their grief process in new ways.

As different pathways of listening open, the possibility of shifting heavy emotions, restrictive beliefs, and long-held patterns becomes more available. This gentle approach invites reflection and expression while honouring each person’s unique experience of grief.

Group members are asked to commit to attending all six sessions of the series and to notify the group leader in advance if they are unable to attend a session. Registration is limited to twelve participants to support a grounded, intimate space. To participate fully, you will need a computer, tablet, or phone equipped with a microphone and camera, and access to Zoom.
