Conversations on Pregnancy and Infant Loss: How to Support Someone Experiencing Pregnancy and Infant Loss


Listen Later

A Fresh Story, season 4, episode 10

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and we’re honored to hold space for these profound stories. These stories may be of grief, but they are also of hope, resilience, and most of all, unconditional love. As a reminder, be gentle with your heart, and if you are not able to listen to this episode at the moment, we understand and we are holding you close. We know these conversations will change you as they have changed us.

It’s no surprise that everything we do a Fresh Starts boils down to the concept of support. We are here to bridge the gap between those who need support and those who want to support others. This is especially true when it comes to supporting our loved ones experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. As we talked to these amazing women and experts, we asked them: how can we support someone experiencing loss? What should we say? What shouldn’t we say? We have answers for you! (PS. You can find all of our Simple Scripts to Support People for free here!)
