Deep Dives are back

Need support as you navigate grief after pregnancy loss? (Or know someone who does?) This announcement is for you.

I’ve not had capacity to run any Deep Dive pregnancy loss grief support groups for a long time, but I’m glad to say I’m now able to offer this wonderful form of private group support once again, with our next intake beginning in August. Below is all you need to know.

Everyone grieves. But not everyone grieves with hope. Let’s hold on to hope together.

“This group has been so life-giving to me. Our communal grief has given me such solace in a season where I've been tempted to feel alone in my loss. I loved that the group allowed me the freedom to participate at my own pace and in my own time. The questions and videos were/are so vital to my processing and healing. I'm so very thankful for this group and for the vulnerability of each member. I also really loved the book and I'm so thankful it came into my hands at the time it did.” —Katrina

What is a Deep Dive?

The Deep Dive is an eight week faith-based grief support group based on the book Grace Like Scarlett: Grieving with Hope after Miscarriage and Loss. You can join from anywhere in the world.

These private small groups are for women¹ who have experienced miscarriage and other types of pregnancy loss. Participation is limited to 10-15 at a time in order to keep a safe and intimate environment for group members.

Each Deep Dive provides a private group for grief mentoring from author Adriel Booker, as well as peer support from other women experiencing grief after loss. Some women join after a fresh loss; others join many years later to address unresolved grief or go deeper in their healing. The content includes weekly pre-recorded videos plus ongoing live support.

“From the start of the first Deep Dive meeting I felt at home with people I’d just met. I’d landed in a safe place where I knew I belonged and felt invited into. It has been a gift to me to have new found friends show up consistently, ask questions and invite me to pray for them as well as spend time praying for me. During a time of physical loneliness I have felt a much needed emotional support. I’m encouraged by the steps I’ve taken to be honest with myself and to view my grief from all angles. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the Deep Dive.” —Anna

Format

Each group is a mix of live calls with Adriel, pre-recorded videos, online discussions and processing, and prayer support. It takes place within a private subgroup of Our Scarlett Stories (our free pregnancy loss community on the Mighty Network platform). You can engage with all of the content in your own time at your own pace except for the two live calls, which take place during Week 1 and Week 8. 

"I can’t even begin to describe how different I feel since I started the Deep Dive. I know it’s born of so much loss and pain, but I just want to thank you for the incredible gift you are sharing with all of us. It is truly changing lives and I am so grateful." —Deep Dive participant

Registration and cost

The group runs for eight weeks from August 13 through October 7, 2023 and costs less than $14 per week. Registration closes August 10th. Sign up here.
