Resources for after TFMR

TFMR Grief Groups
​(free peer grief support groups for after terminating a wanted pregnancy)

1. TFMR Support Circle (run by me, Sabrina, the TFMR Doula)

NEW! I have now started my own free Facebook peer support group. A safe space for TFMR families. You can apply here:
www.theTFMRdoula.com/facebookgroup
​

​2. Ending a Wanted Pregnancy

This group runs a free secret Facebook group for people and their direct partners who have scheduled or already completed a termination for medical reasons. Apply here:
www.endingawantedpregnancy.com/apply-to-join-private-support-group/
​


3. Terminating a Pregnancy for Medical Reasons (run by Terminations Remembered)

Another free peer support group, this closed Facebook group accepts members from poor prenatal diagnosis through termination. You can apply here (scroll down for the application form):
terminationsremembered.com/join-the-tfmr-facebook-group/


4. Pregnancy After Loss Support
​
This organization runs multiple Facebook groups covering the whole spectrum of the fertility journey and loss, TTC again or not. This is the specific group for TFMR:
pregnancyafterlosssupport.org/get-support/pals-private-groups/apply-to-join-tfmr/

And here is their list of all of their groups: ​pregnancyafterlosssupport.org/get-support/pals-private-groups/



5. Babycenter - Termination for Medical Reasons board
​
One of the many boards on the Babycenter forum, this is a great option if you do not use Facebook and want a more anonymous experience. You can just read the board or you can create a profile and take part as well here:
https://community.babycenter.com/groups/a6325/termination_for_medical_reasons

(There is a similar UK Babycenter and Aussie Babycenter board, but the one I am most familiar with is the U.S. one above.)


Recommended Grief Books

My #1 Recommendation:

Our Heartbreaking Choices
by Christie Brooks


Buy on Amazon

46 Stories about people who have had to terminate wanted pregnancies for medical reasons. This book speaks directly to the experience of TFMR.



#2:

An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination
by Elizabeth McCracken


Buy on Amazon

Not a termination, but this story of a mother's grief after stillbirth looks deeply into so many layers of the grief of an out-of-order death. Beautifully written.



#3:

Saying Goodbye
Zoe Clark-Coates


Buy on Amazon

A guide for the first 90 days after pregnancy loss. Although the author's losses have been miscarriages, she is a ally for TFMR families and this book applies to terminations as well.
