12 Months of Compassion: A Jewish Journey Through Fertility & Healing
Coming in 2026: A Year of Hope, Connection, and Expert Guidance.
At I Was Supposed To Have A Baby, we know that the journey through fertility challenges and loss can feel isolating, overwhelming, and deeply personal. To ensure no one in our community walks this path alone, we are launching a new, comprehensive virtual workshop series for 2026: Twelve Months of Compassion.
This year-long program is designed to provide accessible education and emotional support through monthly webinars. Each 60–90 minute session will feature expert speakers followed by a live Q&A, all rooted in Jewish values.
Our 2026 roadmap is structured around four seasonal themes of growth and healing:
Quarter 1: Foundations & New Beginnings: Focus on diagnosis, emotional readiness, Black voices, and surrogacy.
Quarter 2: Healing & Holiness: Focus on identity, body image, secondary infertility, and LGBTQ+ family building.
Quarter 3: Advocacy & Awareness: Focus on Jewish law (Halacha), belonging, isolation, and the High Holidays.
Quarter 4: Paths & Purpose: Focus on grief and loss, male grief, fostering, adoption, and finding light.
