Support for Families Facing a Life-Limiting or Terminal Perinatal Diagnosis
Receiving a life-limiting or terminal perinatal diagnosis is an unimaginable journey—one that no family is ever prepared to face. At Steady in Hope, I am here to walk alongside you, offering compassionate guidance and practical support during this deeply challenging time.
As a child life specialist with extensive experience, I specialize in helping families create a meaningful birth plan that considers the needs of your entire family—not just the medical aspects of labor, but the emotional and relational moments as well. Together, we’ll work to thoughtfully include your other children, fostering understanding and connection in an age-appropriate way. I provide education, tools, and a listening ear to help you make intentional choices about how to honor your baby, prepare siblings, and create moments of love and memory, no matter how brief your time may be.
Whether your focus is preparing for delivery, processing emotions, or navigating decisions about the days ahead, I am here to help your family feel supported and empowered every step of the way. You don’t have to do this alone.

Siblings
Siblings are experiencing their own journey of grief and hope. I work closely with parents to prepare siblings for what’s ahead, offering strategies to foster understanding and connection. Often times creating a plan for how to include siblings in the birthing process. Whether through conversations, activities, or rituals. I help siblings find ways to honor their brother or sister, ensuring they feel included and supported throughout the journey.
