Miriam’s Blessing

Miriam’s Blessing is a ministry that provides comprehensive support to parents who receive a prenatal diagnosis. Support for parents carrying to term varies through three distinct phases: the pregnancy, the birth, and the postpartum period. We provide parents with personalized case management support that is parent- and baby-centered.

Miriam’s Blessing is based on the national program, Be Not Afraid.

If you’re a parent looking for support or if you need to refer a parent for support, please complete the parent referral form by clicking the “Contact Us” button below.

How we can help

We provide trauma-informed care, practical guidance, and information so that parents understand what is normal, what is possible, and what might be helpful as they carry to term.
We work with parents in the development of a written birth plan, which includes a newborn care plan, so that they understand the decisions they may make regarding labor, birth, and the care of their baby. We attend births when requested or assist parents in finding appropriate birth support.
We share information on funeral planning and memory making and can assist with funeral planning if needed.
We provide ongoing support for one year following delivery and bereavement support through ava’s grace.

Miriam’s Blessing affirms the sanctity of every human life from the moment of conception and supports families of any faith in their mission to be “the sanctuary of life.”
