Our Mission

To break the sense of isolation surrounding pregnancy and infant loss.

Brief Encounters can help you feel less alone on your journey through grief. Here you may find helpful resources as you work through the pain of losing your babies. You can connect with parents who know the hard work of picking up the pieces of shattered dreams. Please join us as we learn how to be patient and kind to ourselves as the rest of the world tries to rush us through our grief. Here we have learned that making the journey with others is not nearly as lonely.

WE STRIVE TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.


Holiday Remembrance Ceremony for Adults - Monday, December 9th 7:00 pm

Holiday Remembrance Ceremony For Siblings - Saturday, December 7th 10am

Each year at the Holiday Remembrance Ceremonies, a slideshow of our children is shown. You may send ONE picture for each baby. If you submitted a photo last year, it will be included in the slideshow. No need to resubmit. Alternatively, you may send a picture of something that represents your baby to you. Please no photo "collages" as the images will be too small to see. Submit your photo here.


We have two active private Facebook groups that can be a great way to connect with others: 
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Facebook Group 
Parenting After Loss Facebook Group
