Light After Loss Support Group (next session Spring 2023)
Aubrey’s Advocate, Inc. and Noelle’s Light have joined forces to create an 8-week program that is designed to help support those navigating grief after the loss of their child in the first 8-12 weeks following their death. Our goal is to cultivate a friend-support group and talk about the everyday struggles of adjusting back to life after loss.
Your group will consist of 6-8 other loss parents. We will meet for 60-90 minutes once a week via zoom. Part of the discussion each week will be a planned topic and we will also leave space for an open discussion.
There will be times throughout the program where you will be paired with another loss parent and encouraged to have one on one discussions about certain topics surrounding loss and the grief that follows.
No two journeys are the same but only another loss parent can understand the depth of your
sorrow. We are here to lean on each other, learn from each other and lift each other up. We focus on growth and cheering ourselves on, and discuss little things that have helped make life a little lighter while healing. There is light after loss- let us find it together.
An example of your 8 week topic guide (subject to change):
1. Introduction/Exchange Stories. Prior to our first meeting, everyone will be encouraged to
write a letter to their baby. This letter will be added to our group email exchange as a way
for us to get to know each other. (a more open discussion for the first week) (include photo
of your baby if you wish!)
2. Triggers
3. Body Identity
4. Relationships
5. Hope
6. Preparing for Holidays/special occasions.
7. Traditions
8. Open Discussion- Project to honor our children
Our next group is subject to start Spring 2023. .
Light After Loss Support Group
Mentorship program
For those new to their loss parent journey and looking for 1:1 support and companionship from a parent who has walked their journey, we are honored to offer a mentorship program.
We will pair you with a parent who understands your unique loss situation, be it miscarriage, stillbirth, fetal diagnosis, NICU stay, or other, who will be your “phone/text a friend” when you are experiencing moments that you feel most in need.
Your mentor will provide you with experience they have gained along the way and with resources to help you make the best decisions possible.
REQUEST A MENTOR HERE.
Please fill out the form if you would like to join here.
