Reproductive Loss Grief
Care Workshops.

We recognize that not everyone suffers or experiences grief or hardship as a result of their choices of pregnancy or reproductive loss and that each experience is deeply personal.

Created by Laura Aguilar Albo, Coeurage is a series of free and secular reproductive loss grief care workshops ideally done in groups, in which we offer individuals of all ages and genders confidential peer support. We offer guidance as people recognize that they are grieving their loss, each one’s own personal way of grieving, specific circumstances of their loss experience, and how these struggles may have impacted their life and relationships.

Overviewed by Dr. Nancy Low MD, FRCP(C), MSc, ABPN, the COEURAGE curriculums engage participants in a journey that can lead them to healing through 8 stages of recovery. By committing to their own grief work, participants will be encouraged to acknowledge and strengthen their capacity for resilience, with the aim of coming to terms with and gaining a sense of closure from the experience.

Coeurage

“People can change just by knowing
that someone else is resonating with
the way they feel, act, and what they
have been through.”

Why?

Because you deserve to get to understand your grieving self, to be acknowledged, and to discover that you are capable of resilience. Your loss matters.

How?

Through 8 stages of recovery done in group sessions (ideally) where you can meet others who have had a similar loss, people who will understand your pain and value your story.

When?

We offer 6 recovery grief care workshops per year (Spring, Fall, and Winter). One Coeurage Grief Care Workshop consists of 8 sessions.

STORIES OF RECOVERY

This program helped dig out of the hole and isolation I had thought I deserved after my loss. It helped me be okay again and even more. I reconciled with myself and the people who I had felt hurt by and who I had hurt too. The program works as hard as the participant does and it certainly was hard work to process the grief associated with the loss. But at the end there is life again and more joyful life and an enthusiasm about the future like never before.
Thank you for this program!"

-Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss Workshop Participant

“Laura walked us through our process. She was never judgmental. She helped us in ways we didn’t even expect. Talking out loud about our baby Estelle has helped us incredibly!”
Thank you for this program!"

-Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss Workshop Participant

"Coeurage helped me deal with myself first of all, and then with our loss so much. I couldn't have done it without it”

-Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss Workshop Participant

“Laura was incredibly sensitive to our needs. She was like a co-traveler on our journey of healing and recovery. She was honest, non-judgmental, genuine, and gentle, and yet knew how important it was for us to be expressive and true to ourselves, no matter what came up. She was a brave companion for us on what seemed an impossible journey initially."

-Post-Abortion Grief Care Workshop Participant

“I felt defeated; overwhelmed by my pain and my feelings. Coeurage showed me how to understand myself grieving, but above all, I realized that I am strong and resilient.”

-Post-Abortion Grief Care Workshop Participant

“Every grieving person who has gone through a
reproductive loss deserves to recover. Their
improvement permeates through every aspect
and every relationship in their life, and at large
in society”
