Pregnancy & Infant Loss
We are so deeply sorry.
There are no words that can take away the pain of this moment. Please know that your feelings are valid, your grief is real, and you are not alone. AIM is here to support you and your family with compassion, care, and understanding.
Schedule time for self-care (rest, relax, recover)
Try to stay nourished and hydrated, even if you don’t feel like eating
Attend follow-up doctor’s appointments
Modify your expectations for yourself as you recover
Take vitamins and supplements
Taking Care of Yourself
Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way and in your own time. Rest as much as you can, and accept help with meals, childcare, and daily responsibilities. Speak gently to yourself. Healing is not linear, and there is no “right” way to feel. Simple, grounding routines such as stepping outside for fresh air or sitting quietly for a few moments can provide small anchors during overwhelming days.
When to Reach Out
- If you simply need someone to sit with you and listen.
- Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
- If your thoughts feel heavy or difficult to manage on your own.
- If you are having difficulty sleeping or caring for yourself
- If you feel persistently overwhelmed, anxious, or deeply sad.
