Here’s the updated flier for the panel discussion in St. Lucia! It will be bigger and better than originally planned.

This session is for anyone who has ever been unsure about how they can support someone who experienced pregnancy loss or anyone who has been through it and not sure where to turn for support. It is about answers and practical solutions from local experts and regional people who have experienced loss to help persons navigate this trauma.

If you’re in St. Lucia, I hope that you will come out and if you’re not, please share with someone who is. I appreciate it so much!

My book ‘Lifting the Weight of Miscarriage’ will also be available for purchase for EC$40. From St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua and now St. Lucia, the message of healing continues!
