If you have made the heartbreaking decision to end a wanted pregnancy for whatever reason, we know that this is a completely devastating decision to make. Maybe it was a Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR), whether you terminated the pregnancy because you were sick or your baby was sick. Maybe the decision to end the pregnancy was due to unexpected life circumstances you found yourself in while pregnant. Whatever the reason - we are sorry and we want you to know - you are not alone. We want to give you a space to grieve your loss. You may be experiencing a range of emotions. And all your feelings are valid, and there are many ways to navigate this process. You are in uncharted territory. We offer support, guidance, and resources from those of us who have walked this journey before you. This group is for couples who have made the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy for any reason including medical reasons, abortions, life-limiting or life-threatening fetal diagnoses and/or gestational carrier/maternal health issues. Our Ending a Wanted Pregnancy Virtual Support Group will allow you to walk alongside others who have experienced a devastating loss.
The group will meet on Tuesdays at 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm PDT/6:30-8:00 pm EDT from August 19th - September 23, 2025.
Facilitators: Emily Marlowe
What can I expect during a virtual support group?
Virtual support groups are 90-minutes in length, with the exception of the session, Share Your Story, where we ask 2 hours be set aside.
Our groups are topic focused and structured in a way that builds on content from the previous week.
Every session has a similar flow. Each group starts with a guided meditation or body-centered mindfulness practice.
The topic of the week is introduced, which includes some education.
Then there will be group sharing in response to a topic-related question and facilitated discussion.
Groups end with a period of reflective sharing. Where relevant, the group may be led in writing, creative expression, or embodiment exercises to support resource building and integration.
How will this support group help me?
These types of losses are very isolating—you will learn that you are not alone.
Our hope is that you will find community with others who have similar loss experiences.
By sharing your story, your loss experience is witnessed by others in a supportive and non-judgmental setting.
You never imagined you’d be in this situation. You will receive guidance and resources for your grieving journey.
