Description
“When you arrived silently into our world,
I learned that pure love and deep, gut wrenching pain
were able to collide and live side-by-side for eternity.”
~ Sara Millin, founder of My Poppy Rose
The end of a wanted pregnancy due to severe medical complications on the part of the developing baby is a profoundly heart wrenching and life altering experience.
How best to support bereaved parents as they face the decision, and choose, termination for medical reasons (TFMR)? How can care providers companion, offer support, and draw upon the healing power of ritual in the face of compassionate induction? Whether chosen due to serious maternal health complications or devastating prenatal diagnosis, this training offers compassionate understanding as we hold space for deep suffering and sorrow.
Building upon the foundations taught in the Institute’s Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss training, this advanced course focuses solely on TFMR. This training is open to all bereaved parents, doulas, midwives, and mental health professionals.
**Please note, there is no pre-requisite to take this Advanced Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training. However, all interested are warmly welcome to register for a 5-hour (presented live online) Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training or the self-paced 15-hour Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training.
Saturdays
August 10, 24, and September 7

Modules will be recorded for all participants. One need not join live to complete the training.
Participants meet for 6 hours of training with Amy Wright Glenn and benefit from interview with Tanya Wilkinson, a UK-based mother, author, and coach who experienced TFMR.
Participants will read selections of the 46 stories presented in the anthology edited by Christie Brooks entitled Our Heartbreaking Choices: Forty-Six Women Share Their Stories of Interrupting a Much-Wanted Pregnancy.

“When our daughter was diagnosed with trisomy 13, I was 15 weeks along in my pregnancy.
We chose to spare her pain and suffering, by inducing the pregnancy early (at 19.5 weeks).
We held our daughter, April Rey, and she knew nothing but love for her unbearably short life.”
~ Katrina Villegas, founder of Terminations Remembered
