Partner perspectives: Supporting each other through miscarriage

Together, we’ll discuss common emotional responses to miscarriage, strategies for communicating openly and compassionately, and ways to navigate feelings of guilt, isolation, anger, or helplessness. We’ll also explore how couples can strengthen their relationship during difficult times, access appropriate support, and prepare for future family-building decisions if and when they feel ready.

About the event

This month’s Ask the Experts session focuses on the impact of miscarriage on relationships and how partners can support one another through grief, recovery, and healing. Join us as we explore the different ways individuals experience pregnancy loss and the challenges that can arise when partners process emotions differently.

Whether you have experienced miscarriage yourself, are supporting a partner through loss, or want to better understand the emotional impact of pregnancy loss on relationships, this session offers expert insight, practical guidance, and the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive, expert-led setting.
