It may seem shocking, but when a new friend opened up to me about her stillbirth, my first instinct was to pull away. I didn’t know what to say. I felt awkward, overwhelmed—and honestly, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Unfortunately, this reaction is more common than we’d like to admit. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss are deeply painful and still so taboo that many people don't know how to respond—or even how to talk about them at all.
But avoiding the conversation only deepens the isolation grieving parents already feel. That’s why this podcast exists. I want to create a space where we can be real, raw, and unapologetic about loss.
By opening up these hard conversations, we can break the silence and stigma surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. We can offer real hope and healing—and remind women everywhere that they are not alone.
Together, we’re building a platform for compassion, education, and support—because grief deserves to be seen, and every baby’s life deserves to be honored.
