Topics We Explore in Reproductive Grief Therapy

Reproductive grief touches every part of a person’s life — the body, the heart, identity, relationships, and faith. At Almeta’s Porch Counseling, we create a gentle, grounded space where you can talk about the things most people don’t know how to hold.

Below are some of the themes we explore together in therapy, at your pace and in your own language.

What to explore:

• Meaning of Loss

• Emotional Reactions

• Understanding Identity

• Social and Cultural Implications

• Impact on Relationships

• Spirituality and Faith Implemented Into Experience

• Honoring the Loss

• Coping and Support

• Future Family Planning

What are some things to process when in session:

• Processing through your thoughts related to your pregnancy journey - What are some of the narratives you continue to play in your head? How much of an impact has that been for you to work through?

• What are the daily emotions associated with reproductive grief? Do you believe that you have the same feeling related to your pregnancy journey; is it on a spectrum? How are you dealing with the ongoing emotions that appear?

• Have you examined your triggers? Do you realize which areas can impact you as you process through this journey?

• Have you found ways to honor the loss of your child/children?

• Have you explored what you need from yourself and from others through this hard time?
