WE'RE BACK! omg i'm sorry y'all, life has been lifing! The book launched, my living son turned 3, we are showing our house to sell it, we are trying to expand out family, and i'm just living the grief dream! But I accidentally put the podcast aside, and I didn't even mean to...But it's back and it's not going anywhere!... My grief has changed because my life has changed and now at the 4.5 year mark, I want to talk about how normal life is with pain and joy at the same time. So this episode is about healing and how it's NOT a betrayal to our babies. It's so freakin hard you guys, like, the first year is suffocating and all we can do is survive, then we kind of come up for air and decide we want to try healing from this (which by the way, for me means, living and functioning happily with grief by my side always). How do we do that? Well that's the journey! I decided that I wanted to make Brody proud and live a life worth living. So I'm rebuilding and creating a life I love again. Healing is where it's at and that includes little joys, my family, friends, my mental health, creating a beautiful home, and a life I'm proud of. Coming with me?? I hope so! :) If you are new to Loss Life, please start the pod from the beginning.

Some people don't just achieve, they achieve as though their life depends on it. In this deeply honest episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Esther Marshall, former global gender diversity leader at Unilever and founder of Sophie Says, to ask a question so many of us avoid: who are you when achievement isn't enough?This is a conversation about grief, high achievement, emotional resilience, and the pressure of holding everything together when life refuses to cooperate. Esther shares her story with extraordinary openness: losing her sister Rebecca to suicide, caring for grandparents through Alzheimer's, a miscarriage during IVF, and losing her mother to pancreatic cancer, all while building a business and refusing to stop proving herself. It is also the story of the breakthrough that finally let her stop failing quietly and start succeeding loudly. If you have ever tied your worth to what you achieve, this one will stay with you.If you or someone you know is affected by anything discussed in this episode, you can contact Samaritans free, 24/7, on 116 123 or at samaritans.org.What We Cover:00:00 Intro01:30 Why "High Achiever" Can Tip Into "Never Enough"04:41 Climbing the Ladder at Unilever, and Being "Hard to Manage"10:14 Leading a Team When Your Standards Are Sky High11:37 The Maternity Leave Project That Became Sophie Says14:29 Losing Rebecca to Suicide16:34 The Book Written the Night She Passed Away20:21 The Rainbow, and Learning to Let People In21:29 Carrying a Legacy, and the Weight That Comes With It23:08 Alzheimer's, and Grief That Wouldn't Stop24:18 IVF, Miscarriage, and Learning to Keep Going25:48 The "Miracle" Baby, and a Mother's Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis30:13 Why She Chose to Run a Marathon the Day Her Mum Died34:52 The Therapy Breakthrough That Changed Everything38:46 "I'm Failing Quietly, but I Want to Succeed Loudly"41:00 Building Sophie Says Into a Movement for Generational Change48:53 Learning to Walk Before Running Again50:13 A Message for Anyone Sitting in Fear, Ready to Begin51:40 What Courage Really Means to EstherKey Reflections:• Why high achievement can quietly become a form of self-harm• Why grief isn't something you "get over," and why returning to normal too quickly often makes healing harder• How to separate your self-worth from your achievements and results• Why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness• How changing the way you frame a failure can completely reshape your life• Why children need emotionally safe parents, not perfect onesEsther's honesty is a reminder that courage isn't the absence of pain, it's getting up and showing up through it.

Send us Fan MailFertility advice can be wrong even when the person giving it meant well. In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explores how reassurance, incomplete evaluations, and well-intentioned attempts to “save money” can sometimes delay the fertility care patients actually need.This episode looks at the emotional stress patients feel when they realize they may have lost time, the difference between bad intentions and bad outcomes, and why advice like “just keep trying,” “your labs are normal,” or “at least you can get pregnant” can sometimes miss the bigger picture.Dr. Amols also discusses when OB/GYNs can appropriately help with fertility concerns, when referral to a fertility specialist matters, and why good advice should include a reason, a timeline, a next step, and a point where the plan changes.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

"How do we hold space for the miracle of survival while grieving the loss of a dream?" In this week's episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, we sit down with the incredible Dr. Shayla Élise Walker, PhD, LCSW. Dr. Walker is a licensed clinical social worker, professor, and public speaker with over a decade of experience addressing mental health, racial justice, and restorative healing. But beyond her impressive credentials, she joins us today as a sister in loss, blending her profound scholarship with her own raw, lived experience. Dr. Walker shares one of the most unique and harrowing pregnancy journeys we have ever heard on this platform. After surviving a life-threatening car accident, she was hospitalized in the trauma ICU, where she discovered she was 3.5 weeks pregnant. In the midst of severe physical trauma, this baby felt like an added, beautiful miracle. Tragically, just five weeks later at her first OB appointment, she and her partner learned the pregnancy was non-viable. Dr. Walker takes us into the unspeakable heartbreak of surviving a near-fatal accident, only to lose her miracle baby a month later. As an expert who actively works to redefine what it means to be a "Strong Black Woman," Dr. Walker opens up about her biggest obstacles during this time: navigating the intense societal pressure to "be strong," keep hope, and distract herself by pouring her energy into work. Instead, she advocates for a different path—one that allows us to hold the complex, messy truth of grief, fear of the future, and gratitude for survival, all at the same time. In this episode, we discuss: Dr. Walker's life-threatening car accident and discovering her pregnancy in the trauma ICU. The devastating transition from surviving physical trauma to navigating perinatal loss. Redefining the "Strong Black Woman" trope and resisting the pressure to heal on anyone else's timeline. The complexity of holding grief, fear of future miscarriages, and gratitude simultaneously. The healing power of connecting with other "heavenly baby" mothers and finding community with Sisters in Loss. This is a masterclass in healing, vulnerability, and maternal mental health. Please tune in, grab your tissue, and let Dr. Walker's wisdom wrap around you.

In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown speaks with consultant urologist Jonathan Ramsay about the overlooked role of sperm health in fertility, miscarriage, IVF outcomes, and men's long-term health. They explore why a standard semen analysis often misses key issues, how sperm DNA quality can affect conception, and why lifestyle, environmental exposures, oxidative stress, varicocele, age, and metabolic health all matter before trying to conceive. Jonathan also explains how male fertility can act as an early warning sign for broader health concerns, including cardiovascular and metabolic issues. Together, they unpack the growing research on sperm DNA fragmentation, environmental toxins, and practical strategies couples can use to improve fertility outcomes naturally and alongside IVF treatment.Key Takeaways:Male fertility is often a marker of overall men's health.A “normal” semen analysis does not always mean sperm quality is optimal.Sperm DNA fragmentation may contribute to unexplained infertility and miscarriage.Lifestyle changes may take 5–8 months to show full improvement in sperm health.Environmental toxins, plastics, smoking, heat, alcohol, and weight can affect sperm quality.Where to find Mr. Jonathan Ramsay:Website: https://jonathanramsay.co.uk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ5n0L0732L1MPMGJtVEliQ Mr. Jonathan Ramsay's Bio:Jonathan Ramsay is a Consultant Urologist who has specialized in male fertility for more than 30 years.

What do you do when God feels silent, prayers feel unanswered, and everyone else seems to be receiving the blessing you've been waiting for? In this deeply honest episode, Bekah and Pastor Lisa unpack what it truly means to trust God in seasons of disappointment, waiting, grief, and uncertainty. From miscarriages and delayed prayers to surrendering control and learning how to celebrate others while still hurting yourself, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, healing, and full of hope. If you've ever asked God,"Why not me?", this episode is for you. In this new six-week series, Bekah and Pastor Lisa dive into the difficult yet transformative journey of trusting God, especially when life doesn't make sense. Together, they share personal stories about strained relationships, waiting seasons, miscarriage, emotional healing, and learning how to surrender control to God. Through stories of Hannah, Hagar, and Job, they remind listeners that trusting God isn't always pretty; sometimes it looks like crying in your closet, wrestling with disappointment, and choosing faith even when your heart is hurting. Pastor Lisa reflects on waiting 9 years to conceive, while Bekah opens up about miscarriage, delayed prayers, and how God taught her to celebrate others while still waiting for her own miracle. This episode is a reminder that: Trust isn't transactional. Waiting seasons can grow your faith the deepest. God sees you in your pain. Peace comes from returning to Him again and again. Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a breakthrough, provision, or a promise, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting God, even when you don't understand the process. 00:00 – Introduction Bekah introduces the new six-week series Conversations With My Mother and today's topic: trusting God even when you don't understand it. 01:00 – Trusting God Through Relationships & Family Pastor Lisa shares how trust impacts parenting, marriage, friendships, and relationships through every season of life. 02:50 – Growing Into Mature Conversations Bekah reflects on how her relationship with her mother evolved over time and the importance of maturity in communication. 04:40 – What Trusting God Really Looks Like Pastor Lisa explains that trusting God means stepping into the unknown without knowing the outcome. 07:30 – Trusting God During Waiting Seasons Discussion about unanswered prayers, disappointment, confusion, and learning to trust God when life feels uncertain. 13:50 – Pastor Lisa's 9-Year Waiting Season Pastor Lisa vulnerably shares her infertility journey and how God strengthened her during the wait. 18:46 – Pretending to Trust vs Actually Surrendering Bekah opens up about struggling privately while publicly saying she trusted God. 30:00 – Miscarriage, Grief & Choosing Celebration Bekah shares her miscarriage story and how God challenged her to celebrate other women's pregnancies despite her pain. 38:52 – "One Day You Will Understand. " Pastor Lisa encourages listeners that delayed blessings often deepen gratitude and appreciation once they arrive. 41:18 – Prayer for Those in the Waiting Pastor Lisa prays over everyone currently waiting for healing, breakthrough, restoration, or answered prayers. 43:07 – ClosingBekah closes the episode and encourages listeners to like, share, subscribe, and continue following the series. ________________________

Are you doing everything “right” on your fertility journey but still feeling stuck wondering why pregnancy hasn't happened yet?Many high-achieving women approach fertility the same way they approach every challenge in life—with more effort, more research, and more action. But fertility is different. When your nervous system stays in a constant state of pressure, your body may prioritize survival over reproduction, impacting everything from hormone balance and ovulation to implantation and overall well-being.In this episode you'll...-Why chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can influence ovulation, hormone balance, implantation, sleep, inflammation, and even sperm quality.-The hidden signs that your body may be stuck in “go mode,” even if you don't feel stressed.-A simple 5-minute Pause, Feel, Receive practice you can use daily to help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported during your fertility journey.Press play now to learn how regulating your nervous system may be one of the most impactful and overlooked ways to support your fertility naturally.

What would change if women stopped being silent about the hardest parts of their lives?This week, I sit down with psychologist, author, and advocate Dr. Jessica Zucker, the woman behind the viral #IHadAMiscarriage movement, to discuss her memoir I Had a Miscarriage and her newest book Normalize It: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women's Lives.TW: Infant loss, pregnancy lossJessica shares the story behind her 16-week miscarriage, how it deepened her already decade-long clinical work in women's reproductive and maternal mental health, and why she felt compelled to bring that conversation into the public sphere. We also dig into why so many women default to self-blame after pregnancy loss, how our culture has taught us to minimize our grief, and why avoiding painful emotions can be far more destructive than actually feeling them. Plus these big questions: Can pleasure and grief coexist? What does it mean to truly honor a loss? And why do the people who most deserve joy so often feel the least entitled to it?Come for the conversation about pregnancy loss and women's shame.

Sometimes after miscarriage, it can feel like you and your husband are grieving in completely different ways.You may be carrying the physical loss, the emotions, and the questions every single day… while he seems quiet, distant, or focused on everything else that needs to get done.But what if he is grieving too, just differently?In this episode of the Purpose Beyond Motherhood Podcast, Nicole sits down with author Eric Schumacher for an honest conversation about miscarriage, marriage, and the grief fathers often carry silently.We talk about: Why men and women often grieve differently after pregnancy loss  How to create space for honest conversations in marriage  What husbands may be feeling but struggling to say out loud  Practical ways couples can support each other through grief  How faith, lament, and the hope of Christ meet us in loss Eric also shares biblical encouragement for couples walking through miscarriage and reminds grieving parents that their baby mattered, their grief matters, and they do not have to carry it alone.This conversation is gentle, honest, and deeply validating for both mothers and fathers navigating loss.Connect with Eric + Resources Mentioned Eric's website: https://emschumacher.com/ Dad's Hurt Too: A Father's Memoir of Miscarriage Ours: Biblical Comfort for Men Grieving Miscarriage Worthy: Celebrating the Value of WomenStart your monthly gift$12 for Twelve Giving Campaign Support + communityTwice-a-month virtual support group Twelve 12 MinistriesWebsiteShopInstagram + Facebook: @twelve12ministriesEmail: info@twelve12ministries.org

Dr. Michael New of the Charlotte Lozier Institute Michael New’s Articles at National Review The Charlotte Lozier InstituteThe post A Study of Miscarriage Treatment and Pro-Life Laws & Abortion as an Election Issue – Dr. Michael New, 5/29/26 (1491) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

This week's topics include duration of dual anticoagulation following bypass grafting or stents, how has management of miscarriage changed, at home rehab after an ICU stay, and weight loss for atrial fibrillation.

What if everything you were told about your fertility, wasn't the full picture? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my client Brittany, who takes us behind the scenes of a journey that began with a PCOS diagnosis, one that didn't fully reflect what was actually happening in her body. This diagnosis was then followed by a devastating miscarriage and mounting pressure to move forward with IUI. But her story didn't end there. What unfolded instead will challenge what you think you know about fertility diagnoses and timelines and what can shift when you get access to the right testing and work with someone who looks beyond just medical interventions. We talk about the moment everything changed, when deeper testing revealed that her hormone levels didn't align with a PCOS diagnosis at all, and instead pointed to an entirely different root cause. We dive into her protocol that followed her comprehensive hormone testing, and the tension she navigated between her impatience to move forward with treatment and learning to trust me, the process and her body along the way. Not that long ago, Brittany was exactly where you might be right now, searching for answers, weighing her options, and wondering what to do next. But when you trust your gut, find the right practitioner, and continue to surround yourself with success stories like hers, you're getting one step closer to getting and staying pregnant.

"All those moments when we are like, 'I'm not the girl for the job,' those are the exact moments when God is reminding us that the ministry is his, not ours. That's a mercy, and those are the times to ask for strength."— Abbey WedgeworthToday's Episode: If you ever feel like you're messing everything up, you're not alone. Today Natalie is chatting honestly with Abbey Wedgeworth about their own failings, limitations, and doubts and how God has met them with his mercy and strength. Abbey gives helpful, simple ways that we can identify our limitations, work to live within them, and pray for God to give us strength. She encourages us to take that next step—even just setting aside 10 minutes to allow God to work in our lives. You'll be inspired to set aside the goal of perfectionism, embrace your own limits and experience the strength only God can give us. This month's memory verse: "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being." — Ephesians 3:16Today's guest: Abbey Wedgeworth is a Bible teacher, speaker and writer.

What would you do if the family that was supposed to protect you spent your entire life tearing you down instead? Usha Singh-Das (@ushasinghdas) is the author of Breaking Free, a memoir about growing up in a toxic family environment shaped by a narcissistic father and relentless bullying from her sister-in-law. In this episode, she opens up about what it actually took to leave, go no contact, and rebuild her life from scratch. We get into the moments that broke her and the ones that made her. From being told she was too ugly to ever get married, to losing her dad, her baby and eventually her mum in the space of one year, and her family's response to all of it. This is one of the most honest conversations about toxic family dynamics we've had on this podcast. If you've ever wondered whether what you grew up with was actually normal, this one is for you.

Quick Summary: Kelsey sits down with Jodie, founder of Root and Bloom Therapy, for an honest, heartfelt pregnancy Q&A. They cover everything from why Kelsey waited 20 weeks to announce, to the emotional weight of miscarriage, the art of letting go when you're a type-A entrepreneur, and what intentional postpartum self-care really looks like the second time around.In This Episode:Why Kelsey waited until 20 weeks to announce her second pregnancy — and the business fears behind the decisionThe fear of losing clients when you announce a pregnancy as a self-employed entrepreneurKelsey's miscarriage journey and the conception story she wasn't expectingThe importance of "sitting in the pit" with someone rather than rushing past griefWhy her second pregnancy has felt completely different from her firstPreparing mentally and emotionally for birth and postpartum — with a toddler in the mixNavigating the relationship with her son Freddy during this major family transitionKelsey's worries this time vs. last time: what's changed and what hasn'tOutsourcing and asking for help — finallyPostpartum self-care rituals: the daily micro-moments that actually make a differenceKey Takeaways:You don't owe anyone your news in real time. Holding sacred moments close — pregnancy, health, family milestones — is a boundary, not a secret. Processing privately first is a gift you give yourself.Surrendering control isn't weakness — it's wisdom. In fertility, in business, and in parenting, the outcomes we most want rarely come from forcing them.Grief deserves a witness, not a fixer. When someone is in the pit, what they often need most is someone willing to come sit in it with them — not offer a ladder too soon.Know your joy list before the fog sets in. Write down the five to ten micro-moments that fill your cup before postpartum arrives, because you won't remember them when you're in the thick of it.Values aren't static — and that's okay. Checking in weekly with what this season is asking of you is more sustainable than rigidly holding one set of priorities.Memorable Quotes:"It was never a secret — there are just parts of life so magical that you want to hold them tight to your heart for a little bit." — Kelsey"Sometimes what you need is for someone to come into the pit and sit in the pit with you — not try to make you feel better, just help you not feel so alone." — Jodie"Going back four months, I would not have chosen to process all of that by myself. It was a lot of unnecessary rumination." — KelseyResources Mentioned:Root and Bloom Therapy: rootandbloomtherapy.caRoot and Bloom on Instagram: @rootandbloomtherapyservicesKelsey' Instagram: @KelseyReidlKelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's newsletter: kelseyreidl.com/newsletter"Surviving Life with a Toddler" Workshop: End of June in Brantford (in partnership with Grant Kids Therapy)About the Guest:Jodie Muir is the founder of Root and Bloom Therapy, offering individual and couples therapy with specialized training in perinatal mental health — all things pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down new research on male obesity and fertility and explains why a man's weight may matter more in IVF than many people realize. This study looked at donor egg ICSI cycles and found that male obesity was associated with delayed early embryo development, lower inner cell mass quality, and a higher miscarriage rate, even though fertilization, blastocyst development, implantation, and clinical pregnancy rates were fairly similar across groups. Dr. Amols explains what this means in plain English for patients and clinicians, why a normal semen analysis does not always tell the whole story, how sperm health may affect embryo development after fertilization, and why fertility should be viewed as a couple's issue, not just a female issue. If you want to understand the connection between male BMI, sperm quality, IVF outcomes, embryo development, and miscarriage risk, this episode breaks it down in a way that is clear, practical, and evidence-based. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Send us Fan MailAlex Marie Freed was a healthy mom of three when she suddenly began experiencing daily migraines, vomiting spells, panic attacks, dizziness, severe anxiety, food reactions, and debilitating fatigue.Doctors blamed pregnancy, stress, and anxiety. But what no one connected was that her symptoms began shortly after moving into a fixer-upper home with a history of flooding.In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with integrative health practitioner Alex Marie Freed to discuss her journey through mold illness, Lyme, MCAS, miscarriage, medical dismissal, and the long road back to health.Alex shares how her family was impacted, what finally helped her connect the dots, why remediation mistakes can make things worse, and how she now helps women and children dealing with complex chronic illness.This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, but the root cause has to be addressed.Timestamps00:00 Intro00:28 Symptoms begin01:21 Moving into the fixer-upper01:55 Mold wasn't on her radar03:08 Migraines, panic attacks & anxiety04:27 Connecting the dots05:29 The call that changed everything06:41 Turning pain into purpose06:54 Miscarriage, mold & infertility08:20 Fertility and toxic load10:45 Severe illness and survival mode12:16 Flooding and worsening symptoms12:57 Why the remediation failed14:20 Why kids are more vulnerable16:16 Why we've never been sicker17:18 The biggest lie in chronic illness18:33 Quick fixes vs root causes21:03 Shifting the healing mindset22:27 Being dismissed by doctors24:18 Mold, Lyme & MCAS connection26:08 Terrain-based healing explained27:39 Lyme disease controversies29:48 Life after healing32:40 The turning point in recovery36:00 Daily healing rituals38:06 Her healing program40:52 Message for those struggling42:05 Where to find Alex-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Alex:

Most women with low AMH and high FSH get one of two answers about their iron: "it's fine," or "it's low, here's a supplement." Both leave the real problem untouched. Failed transfers, failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, irregular cycles, exhaustion that won't lift, and nobody asking why the iron is low in the first place. This episode shows you what the full iron panel actually reveals. In this episode, Sarah Clark sits down with Fab Fertile clinical advisor Katy Bradbury (registered nurse and nutritional therapist) to break down the iron panel every woman trying to conceive should be looking at. Not just the one number your doctor checked, but the full picture. They get into why the standard iron prescription is one of the worst forms you can take, why high dose iron can actually make things worse, and why symptoms you've been told are unrelated (brittle nails, cold hands, hair loss, ice cravings, exhaustion) could all be pointing at the same thing. What you'll learn: The full iron panel every woman trying to conceive should request, and what the numbers actually mean Why being told "your iron is fine" off one number is missing the picture The link between low iron and failed transfers, miscarriage, irregular periods, and pregnancy complications Why low iron is so common with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, and POI The thyroid and iron connection most doctors miss, especially with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism Hidden reasons your iron is low even when you're eating well: gut infections, H. pylori, SIBO, low stomach acid, celiac, heavy periods Why the standard iron prescription often makes you constipated, nauseous, and no better off What to take instead, and why every other day often works better than every day Iron rich foods that actually move the needle, plus the foods and drinks blocking your absorption without you knowing The thyroid medication timing rule nobody tells you about This conversation is for women navigating low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI who have been told their iron is fine without anyone running the full panel. It's also for women who have been on iron supplements for years without anyone asking why the iron got low to begin with, and for anyone who has had a failed transfer, a miscarriage, or a failed IVF cycle and is trying to figure out what was missed.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down historically low violent crime rates in Washington, D.C., new evidence on the brain damage linked to regular marijuana use, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and Zohran Mamdani's curse on the New York Mets.First, they welcome statistics showing Washington, D.C, on track for the lowest number of murders since 1930 plus a major drop in carjackings. Hopefully, the trend continues. If it does, there are specific, common sense policy changes that are obviously making a big difference.Next, as pot smokers celebrate 4/20, Jim and Greg examine both recent and longstanding research suggesting regular weed use can damage the brain and lead to other health problems. Jim and Greg discuss how neither party is interested in pushing back against pro-weed policy anymore, even as evidence like this grows. Plus, Jim offers some classic commentary on having to smell weed all the time in America's cities. Then, fossilized former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville urges Democrats to aggressively seize power whenever they control the White House and both chambers of Congress again. You'll hear what specific ideas Carville and the Democrats are pushing, along with his advice that candidates avoid talking openly about those plans until after Election Day.Finally, they have some fun with the news that the New York Mets are 0-11 since their mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, hugged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But Jim knows that Mamdani, like most Marxists, has a plan to salvage the season.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Losing a child during pregnancy is a subject that is not often talked about but can be traumatic and, in some cultures, even lead to feelings of shame. We bring together two couples who share their experiences of miscarriage. They discuss the strain it has put on their relationships and the support offered – or not – to those grieving. Catharina in Sweden tells us. “So even though I try to be rational about it, it was very difficult because my feelings and my body was telling me something completely different.” Earlier this month, Northern Ireland became the first part of the UK where a woman and her partner are entitled to two weeks of paid leave if they experience a miscarriage at any stage of pregnancy. New Zealand, India, and the Philippines also have laws aimed at supporting grieving couples as they deal with the trauma of miscarriage and come to terms with the loss of their unborn child.
