Bereavement Support

Miscarriage and pregnancy loss support

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy. This experience can bring many emotions, and there is no “right” way to feel or heal.

At BJC, we are here to support you through pregnancy loss with compassion and understanding. Our care teams work closely with you to address your physical needs while also offering emotional support, resources, and guidance for you and your loved ones.

If you experience bleeding, cramping, or other concerning symptoms during pregnancy, your provider will talk with you about what is happening and what care or next steps may be needed. You are encouraged to ask questions and share your concerns at any time.

You are not alone. Support is available to help you navigate this loss and take care of yourself as you heal—physically and emotionally.

Bereavement support resources

We offer compassionate bereavement support for those experiencing miscarriage or pregnancy loss, providing guidance, resources, and care to help families navigate grief and healing.

Bereavement support resources

Families across BJC HealthCare have access to compassionate bereavement support for including grief counseling resources, emotional support, memory-making services, and connections to community programs designed to help families navigate loss and healing.

Perinatal hospice care

The perinatal hospice program fills a void for those parents who will give birth to an infant with a terminal condition. They help families cope by creating a bridge from pregnancy to parenthood to bereavement.

Spiritual care

Hospital chaplains of different faiths are available to care for the spiritual needs of patients, families, staff, and visitors of all faiths. They provide compassionate care to support you during challenging times.

Organizations with meetings

Bereavement support organizations offer meetings, resources, and guidance for parents, families, and communities, helping each unique healing journey after the loss of a child.
