Dealing With the Grief of Miscarriage & Baby Loss
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This is so important for every one of us to be aware of--because even if you’ve never experienced this yourself, I can almost guarantee someone close to you has.
1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage or lose their baby in their lifetime. Think about that for a minute. 1 in 4. Think about how many women you know. And maybe a few of them have told you (or you heard through the grapevine) that they’ve experienced this kind of loss, but then think about how many may have experienced this quietly without telling anyone.
Of course, my hope is that this kind of tragedy hasn’t happened to you. But whether it has or hasn’t, this impacts you. And because of that, I wanted to share some thoughts for both the parents who have lost their baby as well as to the loved ones who want to be a support. Because we don’t talk about these things enough--in fact, it’s hard to know what to say. No one wants to say the wrong thing.
In an effort to undo that, I have a few initial thoughts for grieving parents as well as supporting friends and family. So, check out the video and transcript below.
And if you need further support with this--whether it’s help with finding resources in your area or processing your grief together--please know that I am here to help.
