Grieving mother

Do you feel stuck in your grief?

 

Grieving after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss is normal.  Feelings of isolation, exhaustion, and overwhelm are common.

As a healthcare provider, you are in a unique situation.  You may have lost your baby in the very hospital where you work.  Care may have been from your colleagues.  This can make returning to work more challenging.

With staffing shortages and a backlog of patients during the pandemic, administrators may be pressuring you to return to work, extend your day, or pick up more shifts.

These stressors limit your space and time for grieving and self care after pregnancy or infant loss.

Pause to Remember is a community for you to create boundaries so you have space to process the loss of our baby, feel your feelings without judgement, and find your way back to a place of well-being.

Hi, I'm Amy Pelkey.

 

I get it.  I've been there.  I the mother to Anna Grace, our daughter who was stillborn, and a CRNA at an academic, Level 1 trauma center. 

When we lost Anna, my soul was crushed, relationships were strained, my career was threatened by grief, and burnout followed.

I found solace on my yoga mat and more peace after meditating.   So I dove deeper into my practice completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training program.

From there, Pause to Remember evolved into a resource I wish I had in 2016.

I've combined my experience as a clinician and grieving mother with mindfulness trainings, research, and work with support professionals into an offering for you.

No healthcare provider thinks they will find themselves in the role of grieving mother.  It can be a lonely place.  Please know I am here to confidentially support you.
