Welcome

Welcome to C.A.R.E., your local, online resource for perinatal grief. In situations of grief and loss, it’s easy to feel alone or unsure about where to turn. C.A.R.E. staff at Sierra Vista Regional Health Center wants you to know that there are places to go and people to talk to while you heal and sort through the overwhelming emotions associated with loss.

This fledgling program hopes to grow into a firm foundation for parents living with loss in Cochise County, Arizona. We have a passion and the vision for supporting the quiet suffering so many women and families experience when a pregnancy ends unexpectedly.

Long-term goals include:
  1. A local support group with a specific focus on perinatal grief.
  2. Providing perinatal grief resources to local clergy and congregations.
  3. Improving and expanding follow up care for perinatal grief patients at SVRHC, and the surrounding community.
In the meantime, we hope this blog will help connect you with the people, places and resources you need. Stay tuned for updates, articles and information to come and pass this blog on to your friends and family in need of support. Do you have a question or topic to be addressed by the C.A.R.E. staff? Don’t hesitate to contact us and add to the conversation.

God bless your journey. May you find the peace and comfort you are looking for.
