The Miscarriage Support Group Plan (Curriculum) was created to help communities and individuals to create a space for grief and healing following a miscarriage or early loss. This group plan goes through 5 lessons each dedicated to the process of healing. This booklet can be used to create support groups, workshops, lectures, or be used to learn more about loss from a miscarriage and/or personal grieving and healing. We hope to create a culture inline with the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa) and break the stigma around this loss. Each lesson includes:
- An Icebreaker
- Education on a subject related to grief and healing
- Questions to facilitate conversation around a topic
- Related activity
- A mindfulness exercise
– A series of writing prompts that are tools of therapy. The aim of these activities is twofold; processing trauma and reappraising negative events in order to reduce complications in long term grief.
– And also includes links to free resources that we feel may assist you in your journey. These include Islamic books, academic papers, Islamic webinars, and articles from other Muslimahs struggling with their own stories of loss.
