Overview

Thousands of Canadian families are affected by perinatal grief every year, and yet the issue has remained largely unrecognized. Parents who’ve lived through the experience of miscarriage or the death of a newborn find themselves feeling very much alone, with nobody to listen to them. The healthcare system doesn’t have the resources to help, and there are few tools that allow community members to offer support.

Co-directed by Samuel-A. Caron and France Gallant, Moments of Life shares the stories of women and men who’ve experienced this particular form of grief, shining light on a sensitive subject.
