Perinatal loss includes miscarriage (typically defined as loss before 20 weeks), stillbirth (typically defined as loss after 20 weeks), and infant death (loss between birth and the child’s first birthday). These are some of the most heartbreaking—and most overlooked—experiences families face. 

 

Yet most doulas receive little training on how to support these families.

Practical, Compassionate Training for Grief Support

Grief is a universal experience, yet so few feel prepared to help others navigate it.


At Haven Bereavement Doulas, we offer accessible, research-informed training designed to help you respond to perinatal loss with empathy, clarity, and confidence.

Whether you’re answering a personal calling or expanding your professional skills, Haven is here to help you show up for others in meaningful ways.

"Haven created such a safe, supportive space to learn how to walk with others through grief. That can feel scary or overwhelming, but Abby made it approachable.

 

One of the most powerful lessons was learning that our role isn’t to fix or protect people from their grief, but to be present with them in it."
