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.


Noah’s Quest and Brief Encounters invite to you to become a part of a memorial honoring the memory of our babies by purchasing a memorial brick. The Brick Walkway is located at Sandy Bluff Park in Sandy, Oregon right off the playground and will connect a side path to the main pathway around the perimeter of the park. The Brick Walkway was unveiled at Noah’s Quest 2014 and continues to grow.


Brief Encounters is run etirely by volunteers. We are currently looking to fill the Secretary, Communications and Events position.

Please reach out if you are interested in giving back!
