Grief is universal but support isn't always instinctual. When someone we care about is grieving, especially after a heartbreaking loss like miscarriage or stillbirth, we often feel unsure of what to say or do. Well-meaning words can fall flat, silence can feel like abandonment and the desire to “fix” their pain can cause more harm than healing. That’s why this workshop was designed to help you show up with compassion, confidence, and care for those walking through grief.

Who This Workshop Is For?

This experience is designed for anyone who wants to offer meaningful support but isn’t sure how. We welcome:

• Family members and friends wanting to better support a grieving loved one

• Spiritual leaders seeking to provide compassionate, informed pastoral care

• Workplaces and companies aiming to build a grief-informed, inclusive, and human-centered culture

Whether the grief is fresh or longstanding, this workshop equips attendees to move beyond avoidance or awkwardness toward presence and connection.

Why This Even Matters?

Grief is isolating. Pregnancy loss is especially so! When Words Fall Short teaches how to be present, hold space, and respond with empathy when words are hard to find.

What You’ll Learn:

In this engaging and experiential workshop, participants will:

✅ Understand what grief, especially after pregnancy loss, can feel like emotionally, physically, and relationally

✅ Learn the common missteps and myths about grief support and what to do

✅ Explore supportive language and behaviors that bring comfort instead of confusion and additional pain

✅ Reduce the fear of “getting it wrong”

✅ Practice supportive skills

✅ Build emotional literacy and self-awareness for supporting someone through loss

✅ Receive information that can be used long after the workshop ends

This is not just an information presentation. It’s a guided and interactive experience that encourages reflection, connection, and growth to address and close the grief gap in pregnancy loss support.

Grief is hard but being a trusted partner through the journey, you will be better able to care for the grieving instead of unintentionally inflicting additional pain while trying to be helpful.
