It’s been one year since I launched Healing After Infant Loss. In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share the journey of building this platform from the ground up. From starting a YouTube channel and interviewing brave loss parents to creating peer support spaces and dreaming up future projects.

How do you explain infant loss to someone who hasn’t been through it?

In this episode, I share a powerful metaphor that has been on my heart: infant loss feels like an earthquake. The foundations of your life are shaken, friendships collapse, faith may be broken and your whole world looks unrecognisable. But over time, little by little, you begin to rebuild.

🔗 Read the blog post: https://healingafterinfantloss.com/in...

🌸 I share how this earthquake metaphor reflects my own journey through two miscarriages, a missed miscarriage, and a termination for medical reasons at 26 weeks. I also speak about how friendships, faith, education and identity shift after loss and how rebuilding is possible with the right support.

🤝 If you’ve been through infant loss, I want you to know you are not alone. And if you know someone who hasn’t experienced it, share this video with them to help them understand the devastation and rebuilding that happens after loss.
