Throughout the month of October, Confessions of a Grieving Mother is honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month with a special five-part panel series exploring the many different parts of grief, healing, and remembering our babies.
This week, we are talking about something that can be difficult to navigate after loss: boundaries.
Grief can change what we need from the people around us. Situations that once felt ordinary, like pregnancy announcements, baby showers, holidays, or family gatherings, can suddenly feel incredibly difficult.
Setting a boundary is not about shutting people out. Sometimes, it is simply a way of giving ourselves the care and space we need.
If setting boundaries has been difficult for you, we hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone and reminds you that it is okay to take care of your heart.
