Pregnancy announcements often come with unwritten rules—wait until it’s “safe,” don’t tell too soon, protect yourself from the pain of loss. But what happens when silence makes grief even heavier? In this episode of Threshold, I share my own miscarriage story and reflect on how secrecy around pregnancy can leave women isolated when they need support the most.
Together, we’ll explore the tension between celebration and loss, and how faith meets us in both.
In this episode, I talk about:
✨Why cultural expectations often pressure women to wait before announcing a pregnancy
✨The disorienting experience of miscarriage and navigating who “knows” and who doesn’t
✨How friends who already knew became a lifeline of support in my grief
✨Why I want to celebrate life sooner, even if it ends in loss
✨The vision for a more trauma-informed, compassionate culture around pregnancy and loss
This episode is for anyone who has walked through pregnancy loss—or loves someone who has—and longs for a gentler, more honest way to share our stories.
