"I was scared, unsure, and completely overwhelmed. But then I found First Place Options — and everything changed. They connected me with the most kind, understanding, loyal, compassionate, and non-judgmental woman who walked with me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. She didn’t rush me. She didn’t judge me. She just showed up, again and again, with support I didn’t even know I needed. I’m truly grateful for this service. If it wasn’t for the support I received, I wouldn’t be the person I’ve grown into today."

Stories like this remind us why we do what we do. This is the power of free, compassionate support. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible. Your generosity makes it possible for people to find comfort and healing as they navigate the grief and confusion that can follow an abortion.

Our work can be hard.

Often, we walk alongside clients through heartbreak, confusion, and loss — not always knowing how their story will unfold.

But sometimes, we get a glimpse of what healing can truly look like.

One of our clients recently completed our Pregnancy Loss Support program. Her journey wasn’t straightforward. She came to us unsure of what to do, navigating complex emotions and difficult decisions. After a series of challenging turns, she experienced a miscarriage. It was painful, filled with uncertainty and deep emotion.

But in the weeks that followed, she bravely engaged in the hard work of healing.

At the end of the program, she reflected on how she had changed:

“Between week 1 and now, I have experienced a significant transformation. In the earlier weeks, I felt helpless, powerless, guilty, and overwhelmed by emotional, psychological, and physical pain. As time went on, I tried to suppress my feelings, hoping they would eventually disappear. However, I realized that my usual coping mechanisms were not the healthiest approach.”

"Now I find myself embracing a sense of forgiveness. I feel a newfound sense of freedom in my spirit, my mind is in a better place, and I am more grateful than I have been in years. I choose peace, I choose love, I choose forgiveness, and most importantly, I choose self-compassion."

This is the power of free, compassionate support. This is the presence of hope. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible.

Because of your generosity, our clients don’t have to walk through grief and confusion alone.

Thank you for being part of this work.

Although pregnancy loss is fairly common, it is not always something that is talked about openly. Some women and their partners find a pregnancy loss to be a very painful experience; the loss of multiple pregnancies even more so.
If you have experienced a pregnancy loss, you may not know who will understand the pain that you are experiencing, or in the midst of your pain and grief, you may find it hard to share with your family and friends who didn’t know about your pregnancy.

First Place Options offers free pregnancy loss support. Our experienced counsellors provide a safe and supportive space for you to process your loss. We will come alongside of you in your grieving and healing journey.
