On this week's episode, we welcome Sabrina Fletcher - known as the TFMR Doula. Sabrina helps bereaved parents in the aftermath of a heartbreaking decision to terminate a very wanted pregnancy. We have very important conversations about what a TFMR, support, and awareness and the need for abortion policies to be protected.

EDIT: The intro should say TFMR happens in *up to* 80,000-90,000 pregnancies each year in the U.S. not approximately. 

On this episode you will hear:
- discovering the need for TFMR
- challenges of TFMR decision-making
- barriers and challenges in accessing care
- the importance of TFMR-specific support
- the disconnection and jealousy
- navigating societal and political attitudes towards TFMR
- validating grief in all experiences of abortion and termination
- the importance of trauma-informed care for TFMR
- creating space for complex emotions in TFMR
