Cry It Out Loud! (Infertility, Pregnancy Loss and Infant Loss Survivors)

Infertility, Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Losses are all traumatic. This is the 2nd part of our series because there is a lot of emotions and thoughts behind these feelings. The fuel for our traumas, PTSD, and grief after our losses can be guilt, shame and blame which are completely normal. Survivors are speaking out about our deepest thoughts that arose after our losses with these feelings that aren't talked about in our society or need to be kept quiet. Please tune in, follow and subscribe so we can continue to reach as many survivors as possible.

In this episode, we are discussing triggers that have happened to fellow survivors after we lost our babies. This is to help other survivors armor themselves when out in public but also for their support system to understand how to better comfort them in those moments. We discuss different coping methods and tools used that helped us when those overwhelming emotions and feelings came flooding in when we least expected it.

Infertility and losing our babies are the greatest profound loss for parents. It's our worst nightmare. Having to figure life, who we are, and what our future looks like is hard enough without the feelings of guilt, shame, and blame that we experience on top of everything else. Some days we feel like we've run an emotionally and mentally marathon with grieving and mourning our children no longer in our arms. It's crucial to acknowledge these emotions and process them with survivors who get it. Survivors are bravely sharing their deepest thoughts, often silenced in our society. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this series next Wednesday. Follow and subscribe to help reach more survivors.

The infertility journey is a long and exhausting experience for parents, and it can be challenging to put into words. Each person's fertility journey is unique, but sharing our stories can provide support and comfort to others who may be going through similar experiences. We spoke with Tara Schenk in this podcast episode about her 8 year long fertility journey, which includes surrogacy and her desire to breastfeed her child. During our conversation, we delved into the emotions of guilt, blame, body shame, and self-hate that often accompany the fertility journey. Many individuals struggle with not recognizing themselves due to their bodies' inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to full term. It's important to acknowledge that infertility and miscarriage are often overlooked and are deeply traumatic experiences for us survivors. By openly discussing these silent losses, we aim to bring awareness and support to all infertility, pregnancy loss and infant loss survivors.

Life so much lighter with less layers on. Grief and trauma changes us to our core and takes away our filter ability. We are raw and real about being our apologetically authentic selves when living the worst nightmare as a loss parent. But it also gave us the ability to not accept "pie crust relationships" or those that aren't able to sit with us in the trenches during our worst days. Those that cannot weather the storms with us. Sometimes people in our lives are seasons and reasons.
