October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and with it comes a deeply meaningful PAIL Mini Series here on How to Deal With Grief and Trauma.

In this opening episode, we explore two central themes:

• Your grief is real and valid – recognizing that every loss, no matter when or how it occurred, deserves acknowledgment and compassion.
• How to show up without fixing – learning to be present with someone’s pain without trying to solve or soften it.

🕊️ What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why pregnancy and infant loss grief is often invisible — and why it still matters deeply
• Common invalidating phrases and how they affect bereaved parents
• The healing power of being seen, heard, and acknowledged
• Supportive ways to show up without trying to fix or rescue
• Reflections for both grievers and supporters to help deepen compassion and connection

🗓️ About the Mini Series

The PAIL Mini Series runs throughout October with new episodes released every two days.
It includes a mix of solo reflections by Nathalie and replays of some of the most listened-to guest interviews from the past three years of the podcast.
