12 Months of Compassion: A Jewish Journey Through Fertility & Healing
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 emotional readiness, strengthening relationships, 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.
PAST EVENTS AVAILABLE ON DEMAND
Compassion is a Community Effort
At I Was Supposed To Have A Baby, we fundamentally believe that no one should walk the path of fertility challenges or loss alone. We also believe that life-changing support, expert guidance, and a sense of belonging should be accessible to everyone in the Jewish community, regardless of their financial situation.
That is why we have made the Twelve Months of Compassion series entirely free to join.
But while this program is free to attend, it is not free to produce. Our work is made possible by supporters like you. If you find these sessions helpful, healing, or hopeful, we invite you to consider making a gift to support the production of this event and other resources like it.
