Parents Who Have Experienced a Child-Bearing Loss or the Loss of a Child: Past child related loss typically influences how you parent your other children. As a Parental Bereavement Therapist, I can assist you in understanding these challenges and help you change ineffective parenting choices using new and better strategies. I have extensive experience in providing counseling to parents who have struggled with the grief of losing a beloved baby or child. They are determined to be the best parent they can be in spite of the profound loss they’ve experienced. Through counseling, I will assist you in defining your role as a parent. You will discover how to set appropriate limits that reflect your values rather than automatically react due to your past pain. You can grow as a parent and relate to others in healthier ways. You can find a way to address your fears and decide how much influence to allow them. You can feel safe and effective in your role as a parent and participate with your family in a satisfying and meaningful way.
