This episode explores the topic of talking to friends and family about your baby. Sharing your baby’s story is a powerful way to honor their memory, but it’s not always easy. Jen dives into why these conversations matter, why others might struggle to respond well, and practical tips for starting these tender discussions in a way that feels safe and meaningful.

Whether you’ve struggled with silence, felt hurt by someone’s reaction, or just want to feel more confident sharing your baby’s story, this episode will leave you feeling validated, encouraged, and equipped with actionable tools.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why sharing your baby’s story is healing and important
  • Why others might feel uncomfortable and how to approach it with compassion
  • How to set the stage for meaningful conversations with safe people
  • Tips for navigating emotional moments during these talks
  • Creative ways to keep your baby’s memory alive in everyday life

Key Takeaways:

  • Others’ discomfort often stems from not knowing what to say, not from a lack of care.
  • You can set boundaries and gently guide conversations to feel safe and meaningful.
  • Emotional moments are natural and okay—they’re a reflection of love.
  • Small gestures, like holiday traditions or casual mentions, can also honor your baby beautifully.
