Why this Loss Feels so Overwhelming

Pregnancy loss is not only an emotional experience—it is a physiological one. Your body prepared for new life. Your hormones shifted. Your nervous system organized around pregnancy. When that pregnancy ends, your body doesn't simply forget.

​

Pregnancy loss is also a psychospiritual experience. Your psyche had already begun crossing the threshold from maiden to mother. When the pregnancy ended, that transition was interrupted, often leaving behind questions of meaning, identity, and death itself. For some women, the loss may also bring forward ancestral stories of pregnancy loss within their matrilineal line, deepen spiritual questions, or stir the religious and cultural narratives they carry about pregnancy, motherhood, and loss.​

​

While there is no right way to heal after pregnancy loss or abortion, many women eventually discover a deep need to make sense of what happened. Whether your grief has been immediate or held quietly for years, healing often begins by allowing yourself to acknowledge the pregnancy, the loss, and the emotions your body has been carrying.

I support women who long to process their experience in a way that is both emotionally meaningful and deeply sacred.
