Note: This episode deals with grief and loss. Please consider carefully if this is the right time for you to listen.
October is Infertility, Pregnancy Loss, and Infant Loss Awareness Month in the United States. The losses that can accompany an infertility journey often aren't commemorated in the same way as other losses, and that can add an extra burden to those grieving.
We already struggle to cope with death in our society; when there's the extra stigma of shame that frequently accompanies infertility or pregnancy or infant loss, people can be left without the support they need.
Grief Coach Wendy Sloneker spoke with Ruby and Anne about why we need help, what that support can look like, and where to find it.
If you or someone you know is dealing with grief around infertility or any other loss, we encourage you to listen (if you're ready) and share this episode, then seek help in whatever form feels best for you.
