Jerome's Hope Ministry
Miscarriage or Infant Loss Support"do not be dismayed, for i am your god; I will stregthen you and help you" Isaiah 41:10-
The loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth is a deeply difficult experience for any parent, as is learning that your unborn child has a health condition. You may feel scared or confused, angry or alone, deeply sad or resentful. Our Jerome’s Hope team is here to accompany you and your family through this time. We are a resource for parents made up of clergy, medical and counseling professionals and other parents who can offer peer support based on their own experiences of loss.
Because every family’s needs are different, Jerome’s Hope offers a variety of assistance based on your personal needs. Ways we can help include:
Providing peer support from other parents who’ve walked the same journey
Emotional and spiritual support, including chaplain and clergy referrals
Assistance arranging burial and memorial service
