Life After Loss
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support by WellMama
You are not alone.
Life After Loss by WellMama in Eugene, Oregon is designed to offer compassionate support to individuals who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of a child in infancy. Our program encompasses a range of resources, including in-person and online peer support groups, one-on-one text support, community events, and various other forms of support.
Our Life After Loss Programs Include:
Seasonal Peer Support Series
Each group series offers the opportunity to share, process and bond as a group with others who have gone through similar experiences. There are four sessions available over the course of the year. Fall, Winter, and Spring groups are 8 weeks long and our Summer group is 4 weeks.
One on One Peer Support
We can offer one time or recurring peer support meetings to those wanting to connect one on one with a peer support specialist.
Warmline Text Support

Remembrance Events
WellMama hosts events as an opportunity for parents to come together to honor and remember their little ones who are no longer with us, surrounded by family, friends, and supporters.
Remembrance Cards
We understand that remembrance days can feel lonely. We would love to send you a letter on your baby's remembrance day as a reminder that you are not alone, and we are remembering your precious little one with you.
Life After Loss Facebook Group
Join our private facebook group to help find community with other parents who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.
Seasonal Peer Support Group Series
Our peer support series groups meet once a week over the course of eight weeks (four weeks during Summer sessions) to offer the opportunity to share, process, and bond as a group with others who have gone through similar experiences. There are four sessions available over the course of the year and all are gently guided by facilitators who share the lived experience of loss. Participants are encouraged to set the intention of attending each week in the series, understanding that things may come up and that that too is okay.

All babies will be honored and remembered on our website and virtual memorial.

Every life no matter how fragile or brief. . . forever changes the world.

Lamb Cottage, located at 130 Cheshire Avenue in Eugene, Oregon
In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, WellMama invites you to the Wave of Light, a worldwide infant loss memorial ceremony to honor the short lives of babies who left this world too soon. The Wave of Light is an opportunity for parents to come together and honor and remember their babies together at the Lambs Cottage, in Eugene to remember the little ones who are no longer with us, surrounded by family, friends, and supporters.
Remembrance Cards
We understand the deep sense of solitude that remembrance days can evoke. We would be honored to send you a personal letter on your baby's remembrance day, serving as a gentle reminder that you are not alone in these moments.
