Shifra Clinic — Pregnancy Loss & Bereavement Support

Losing a pregnancy is a shattering experience — for the woman, her husband, and the whole family. Grief is a long process, from the moment of parting with the baby through the slow attempt to return to everyday life, and it can bring with it deep and painful feelings: hurt, disappointment, frustration, emptiness.

This is exactly the time when a woman, her husband, and her family need companionship and support. That’s why we created the Shifra Clinic — a place for both medical and emotional care after pregnancy loss. The clinic works in a warm, embracing atmosphere and offers close medical and emotional accompaniment. Whatever you’re wrestling with or worried about, we’re here to answer and to help, professionally and fully.

What the clinic offers

• Processing the birth experience and supporting the mother — if you’d like, the clinic provides personal social-work support over a number of sessions, to help you emotionally and to work through the experience.
• Understanding why the loss happened — the clinic offers medical consultation and investigation into the cause of the loss, tailored to you.
• Help planning your next pregnancy — alongside the professional advice and medical workup, you can get guidance aimed at preventing another loss.

The clinic works as a partnership between a gynecologist and a team of social workers.
