Resource Highlight: The Love & Loss Project

6/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Experiencing the loss of pregnancy, a baby or a child is a devastating and life-altering experience, to say the least. As awful as the journey is, know that you are not alone and there are a variety of resources available to support you. 

One of the great resources that recently came to our attention is T
he Love & Loss Project. The Love & Loss Project is a comfort and inspiration station for people who have lost a baby, pregnancy or child.

Services are offered by April Boyd, a Social Work Therapist from Belleville, Ontario. April has supported thousands of people over the past decade through grief, loss, trauma and tragedy, but her work took on new levels of meaning and purpose after her daughter Nora passed away unexpectedly when she was one day old. You can read more about April's story here.

​April offers a variety of services to support those experiencing perinatal loss, including a Baby Loss Survival Guide.

Often times, the financial cost of support services can be a barrier to seeking help, but counselling services are often claimable/reimbursable via your workplace. April recommends checking with your Employee Assistance Program (EAP), but often, programs like this can be covered under your workplace EAP  program or your workplace benefits.
Thank you April for donating to our Silent Auction in support of Aaron's Butterfly Run Ottawa/Gatineau! If you're interested in the Baby Loss Survival Guide, you can have a chance to bid on it during our online, Facebook-based, Silent Auction June 2-3, 2017.
