Course Description
We grow up thinking that babies aren't supposed to die. They are brand new humans, meant to outlive their parents and live in a future generation. Unfortunately, reality teaches us that this is not always the case. Fading into heaven, babies often prove to the world that they too or often too mortal. When a parent loses a child the world goes dark. An outsider can only imagine the pain and try to ease the grief with words that do not always soothe. The stages of grief seem to be littered on a darkened road through a frightening forest, too terrifying to set foot upon, but it is only a matter of time, hope, support, and realization that sends the glistening light through the trees so that the journey may begin.

This is an online workshop intended for parents who have lost a baby during pregnancy or after birth. It is a self paced, guided tour through the healing process to work through grief and bereavement issues. Working through these issues in this format is especially helpful in the early stages of grief when the shock and pain is still raw. It is very important to face the issues of loss in order to move on in a healthy manner through life.
Course Lessons

Losing a child is like losing part of you; it is something you can never forget, but the pain changes over time. It is possible to love and remember your child, and still go on with your life with that child as positive memory, still part of who you are
Lesson 2: Tangible Pain- Expressing Your Feelings in a Healthy Way
Healthy anger is good. It opens up communication and acknowledgement. It allows you to express what your mind and body are just acknowledging as reality.
Lesson 3: What Can You Do?!- Keeping the Memory Alive
The most important thing to know is that your baby will ALWAYS be in your heart. You have changed. No one is ever the same after conceiving and carrying a child. That is a gift your little one has given you.
Lesson 4: Reaching out for Support- How and Where
You may feel like you're the only one in the whole universe that ever experienced such a tragic and painful nightmare, but you're not alone. It is important to verbalize and share your tears, thoughts and feelings.
Lesson 5: It's Okay to Smile!
After coming to the realization that your little one is gone, getting out your anger, reaching for support and creating tangible memories, you'll realize that death is a part of life and that you did indeed conceive a wonderful little miracle, but
