Few experiences are as immensely trying as the loss of a child. Whether through stillbirth, miscarriage, or neonatal death, parents who endure this loss often feel isolated in their grief. They can feel like no one understands, and the world moves on while they are frozen in pain.

Here at Pasadena Perinatal Therapy, we can help you move through this time of grief and heal with compassionate support through specialized infant loss therapy in Pasadena.

The Silence Around Infant Loss

Even though infant loss is tragically common, it remains a taboo topic shrouded in silence. Why? For the most part, it’s simply because people just don’t know what to say to grieving parents. This, unfortunately, often leaves bereaved parents feeling unseen, and parents may encounter well-meaning but hurtful comments.

No matter how brief the bond was that you formed with your baby, it was real and meaningful; your grief is valid. It’s so important that you understand that healing does not mean forgetting your baby; it means learning how to carry your grief in a way that allows you to move forward with hope. At Pasadena Perinatal Therapy, we can help.

How Infant Loss Therapy Can Help

Grieving is never a one-size-fits-all experience; it’s not a straight path, and everyone’s journey is unique to them alone. Therapy provides the support and tools you need to:

• Process feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion
• Honor your baby and the connection you had
• Learn coping strategies for triggers and anniversaries
• Address potential strain on your relationship or family
• Learn coping strategies for triggers and anniversaries
• Rebuild a sense of meaning and hope for the future

At Pasadena Perinatal Therapy, we are trained in perinatal mental health and always offer help with deep empathy. We’re here to help you navigate the waves of your grief while you work to improve your relationship with others and yourself.

Supporting Both Parents

While a lot of focus is placed on the parent giving birth, both parents experience grief, and it’s often silent. However, our couple therapy in Pasadena can help both parents process the loss together while you improve communication and strengthen your bond.

When to Seek Help

If you find that your grief is overwhelming your daily life, if it’s affecting your sleep, relationships, and appetite, therapy can help you regain your stability and strength. There is no timeline for healing and seeking support, but whether you think you can or think you can’t, we can help you regain your ability to function and make courageous steps toward recovery.
