Grief after pregnancy loss or infant loss can feel like you’re carrying a life-altering truth in a world that wants you to stay quiet. We open with a clear, compassionate look at different kinds of perinatal loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, and neonatal deaths. We name something that hurts many families: comparison narratives that imply one loss should be “easier” than another. We hold firm to a simple truth here, every loss has value, every story has nuance, and no one needs to prove their pain.

We visit a traditional grief model and how it is described. Grief stages are not a checklist, and they do not arrive in a neat order. We briefly talk through the stages. One stage that is often emphasized is acceptance. It comes in its own timeline, and we say it plainly: there is no standard timeline for grief.

To move from labeling feelings to finding footholds, we touch on later grief ideas like testing new coping strategies and making meaning after loss. We also share why I’m passionate about expanding playing a role in introducing the topic of perinatal loss into natural conversations beyond the loss community.

If you have a topic you’d like me to cover on the podcast, or if you would like to share your creative coping strategies to help our listeners, I’d love to hear from you. Please contact me by:
