Grief including Perinatal Loss Support in Melbourne

What Experiencing Perinatal Loss Feels Like

The loss of a pregnancy or the death of a newborn or older child is an incredibly painful and often isolating experience. It can bring intense grief and a sense of emptiness that might feel overwhelming.

When to Seek Help

If you are struggling to cope with the loss, feeling stuck in your grief, or needing a safe space to express your emotions, seeking professional support can be a vital step towards healing.

  • Physical: Fatigue, insomnia, or somatic or body symptoms without a physical cause.
  • Mental: Intense sadness,anguish, guilt, or anger; intrusive thoughts about the loss.
