Infertility Inner Circle presents: The Unseen Grief of Infertility

The Unseen Grief of Infertility

Infertility is not just a medical diagnosis, it’s an emotional landscape filled with hopes, losses, and quiet griefs that often go unseen.

Join us for an evening led by Kelly Grosklags, a nationally recognized grief therapist, speaker, and author with over 25 years of experience guiding individuals and families through life’s hardest chapters. Together, we’ll explore the layers of grief that can accompany infertility, the loss of how we thought our family would come to be, the heartbreak of failed cycles or miscarriages, and the strain these experiences can place on our relationships.

This gathering is not about “fixing” grief, but about honoring it and creating space to speak, listen, and feel understood among others who truly get it.

What to Expect:

• A guided grief circle facilitated by Kelly Grosklags
• Space to share and connect in a safe, non-judgmental environment
• Tools and reflections for processing grief in healthy, compassionate ways
• Community with others who have experienced similar losses

Whether your grief stems from miscarriage, failed IVF cycles, lost embryos, the inability to conceive naturally, or the quiet ache of dreams deferred — you are welcome here. This evening is open to anyone touched by infertility, regardless of where you are in your journey.

• The loss of a pregnancy or embryo
• The dream of conceiving naturally
• A version of family you once envisioned
• The relationships strained or lost along the way

Grief in infertility often hides in plain sight — this circle is where it can be seen, held, and met with compassion.

The Infertility Inner Circle is a community for those enduring the pain of infertility to come together in connection, understanding, and support. This is more than just a group—it’s a refuge, a place where your story is met with compassion, where your grief is honored, and where hope is gently nurtured, even on the hardest days.

Whether you’re in the midst of treatments, grieving loss, or simply trying to find your footing in a world that doesn’t always understand, you are welcome here. Together, we’ll share our journeys, hold space for one another, and remind each other that even in the darkest moments, we are not alone. Let’s walk this path side by side—because no one should have to face infertility in isolation.
