Pregnancy loss
Pregnancy loss (or miscarriage) at any stage can be incredibly difficult. You are not alone.
Grief affects everyone differently. Some people feel sadness, anger, guilt or numbness. Others struggle with unexpected emotions or uncertainty about the future.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. And there is no set time for healing.
This leaflet explains what services are available to support you. Talk to a member of the Jasmine unit team if you want to know more.
Emotional and spiritual support
Our Pastoral and Spiritual Support Team provide emotional support to everyone. This is regardless of your faith, belief or background. All conversations are confidential and led by what matters to you.
We will listen with kindness and respect. You can talk through your feelings, questions and concerns. Or we can just be with you when words are not enough.
If you want our support, now or in the future, email krft.
