Show Notes
In this episode, I share the next chapter of our story. I talk through the weeks after our first miscarriage, getting pregnant again, and then finding ourselves heartbroken allover again just a few months later. I go into the fear, the medical trauma, the loneliness of going through all of this during COVID, and the months of trying to conceive that followed; months that felt relentless, confusing, and all consuming. I also talk about the grief I didn’t realise was grief at the time, share the things I didn’t understand, and the things I only see clearly now, looking back. If you’re going through anything similar, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, even just a little. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. Your grief is valid. And you deserve support and compassion every step of the way. Please note: There are mentions of fertility struggles, pregnancy, and loss so do listen gently and take care of yourself as needed.
💛 As always, if you’ve been impacted by any kind of pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone. Support links and resources are included in the show notes.
