Could Breaking the Silence Help Us Find Healing in Grief?

Episode Summary

In this episode, we break that silence with raw stories, honest conversation about choices, and hope for healing. This is not just about loss, it’s about courage, compassion, and the power of being seen and heard. #PregnancyAndInfantLossAwareness #perinatallossmonth

Episode Notes

What really happens when grief meets silence? In this deeply moving conversation, we open the curtain on miscarriage and stillbirth—experiences that are often hidden, misunderstood, or left unspoken. Through raw personal stories and professional insight, we uncover the untold emotional and medical realities of loss, the surprising ways acknowledgment can transform healing, and the conversations many families wish they had been offered. You’ll hear how healthcare providers can either deepen the pain or become lifelines of support, why difficult questions matter, and what it means to honor a child’s memory in the face of heartbreak. This is not just about loss, it’s about courage, compassion, and the power of being seen and heard #PregnancyAndInfantLossAwareness
