Expecting Your Next Baby Support Group

If you’ve experienced the devastating loss of your baby, and are now expecting a new baby, you may be encountering a unique mix of emotions. At Empty Arms, we understand the complexity of feelings that may arise when you are grieving the baby that was lost, and feeling hopeful for a baby in the future. Our Expecting Your Next Baby Support Group is a compassionate space where you can speak authentically about the fear, grief, anxiety, and hopeful anticipation you may be experiencing. All feelings are welcome here. We hope that you will become a part of this loving community. You are not alone!

What?

This is a free, drop-in support group for individuals and families who are in the process of pregnancy, surrogacy, or adoption after the loss of a baby who live in Massachussetts. It is a place to explore and honor the complexity of emotions that can coexist when you are both grieving a child that was lost and anticipating a child in the future.

Please note: Our Expecting your Next Baby meeting is intended for those who have participated in or are currently attending at least one of our support groups to process their loss. As this group focuses on next steps, there is less space to process loss in this group.

Where?

All of our support groups meet on Zoom. Meeting links are sent by email. If you would like to join this support group, please fill out the Contact Us form.

When?

We usually meet on the third Thursday of each month from 7:30-9:00 p.m. If dates change, we will let you know by email.
