For Grieving Moms After Infant Loss

We’re Able to Help If…

  • You are a mother who birthed a child
  • Your child was over 20 weeks gestation and up to 2 years of age
  • The loss occurred within the past 12 months
  • You are willing to participate in our grief support program
  • You are 18 years or older
  • Your family is low-income or financially burdened
  • You are seeking emotional or peer support after loss
  • You experienced hospital or NICU-related loss
  • You are referred by hospitals, clinics, doulas, or social workers

We’re Unable to Assist If…

  • Infant Loss is not verified:
    • Documentation of stillbirth, neonatal death, or infant loss under 12 months is required
  • The child is not within age range limitation:
    • We support loss from 20 weeks gestation up to 24 months old only (miscarriages before 20 weeks may be referred to partner groups)
  • Services are misused:
    • Repeated misuse or false applications may result in disqualification
    • We decline partnerships that misrepresent our mission or exploit grief
  • Requests are not from Legal Guardians:
    • Only legal or biological guardians may apply unless consent is given
  • The requests are for unrelated services:
    • Housing assistance
    • Addiction or mental health treatment
    • Child placement or adoption services
    • Legal representation

At The Athena Margaux Sanctuary, we honor the sacred bond between mother and child—even in loss. Our programs are designed to gently support grieving mothers and their families through every stage of sorrow, remembrance, and healing.
