💔These past few days I have been blessed with the opportunity to speak to dozens of women who have suffered from baby loss. I have been incredibly touched by each one of their brave stories of dismissed pain, unacknowledged loss, hidden grief, and astounding resilience. It is my deepest hope that I can contribute in, at least, a small way, to start changing how disregarded early baby loss is by society, and particularly healthcare professionals, who often treat these families with coldness and ignorance, when what we need is compassion and understanding.
💔Regardless of our political views or stances, I am thankful people with power like Meghan Markle and Chrissy Teigen have opened up and shared their intense grief following the tragic loss of their babies to miscarriage and stillbirth, respectively. Their voices have an impact, and maybe they can shed a light on how invalidated our grief following baby loss always is. I am sorry for every single family that lost a child this way, please know you might feel terribly lonely, especially in a global pandemic, but I promise you, you are NOT ALONE.
💔If you have suffered from baby loss and want to share your story with me confidentially, please feel free to DM me. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for your lovely post, which I have shared.
