Loss Support

Find strength, comfort and understanding in the midst of difficult loss.

One in four women will experience pregnancy or infant loss, and this experience is completely devastating and life-altering. The loss of a child at any age or stage of pregnancy can cause severe distress and can compromise a mother’s ability to function on a day-to-day basis. No one plans for loss or knows how to navigate life afterwards. Please know if you or someone you know has experienced loss during any stage of pregnancy or infancy, you are not alone. There is support in our community when you are ready.

If you do not see what you are looking for, or need a little extra help figuring out what you need, call us at 406-224-5530, Contact or email us at hello@rootsfamilycollaborative.com.
