Miscarriage and Infertility Support

Support Following Miscarriage

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 services
• Explanation of medical terminology and suggested questions for your medical team
• Help creating a birth plan for your baby’s arrival

Support Groups

In times of grief, the chance to meet and pray with others who’ve had similar experiences can be a great source of healing.

The archdiocese through the Office of Pro-Life Activities will begin offering its new miscarriage support group beginning on Wednesday, October 15. This six-week group is available for individuals and couples following miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss. Interested individuals can contact the Pro-Life Office for more information or to register for the group at 713-440-3443 or [email protected]. See the attached flyer and graphic.
