Pet companions have always been a part of my life. If we've ever met, you probably at the very least saw a picture of my pet companion: my little dog Buzz.

Grief work is sacred but it can also be exhausting. When you’re holding space for families experiencing loss, it’s no surprise that your own words sometimes run dry. You might know what you want to say, but everything feels too sharp or too tired to land well.

Our new course, Labor and Birth before 20 Weeks Gestation, fills that gap. It provides 6 hours of evidence-based, easy-to-understand material for any support person who wants to become more knowledgeable in supporting families physically through miscarriage.

Come join our free 5-day mini course, Prepared Presence 2025, September 22-26. Each day, you’ll get access to a short video with instructions for a 10-minute activity designed to help make your online presence more welcoming and supportive of loss families.

In this spotlight, we feature Carli Herzog, a Haven-trained bereavement doula in Iowa.
