Our Mission

To break the sense of isolation surrounding pregnancy and infant loss.

Brief Encounters can help you feel less alone on your journey through grief. Here you may find helpful resources as you work through the pain of losing your babies. You can connect with parents who know the hard work of picking up the pieces of shattered dreams. Please join us as we learn how to be patient and kind to ourselves as the rest of the world tries to rush us through our grief. Here we have learned that making the journey with others is not nearly as lonely.

WE STRIVE TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

2024 Board Needs: 

Our board and organization is entirely volunteer run, if you would like to get involved email info@briefencounters.org or come to a board meeting, all are welcome.

Current open positions are: Secretary: Type notes at the meetings and jump in where needed Member at Large: Actively participate in meetings, events, and jump in where needed.  We want to continue being able to serve grieving families to the best of our ability.
