Sometimes, mom guilt creeps in and tells us we're not enough. And mom guilt isn't exclusive to moms with living children; it can be easy to feel guilty as a loss parent, too.

This episode is a compilation of resources - keepsake shops, awareness organizations, links, websites, services, nonprofits, books, podcasts, etc - that I found during my loss journey. All of these can also be found on www.expectingrainbow.com/episode5. Sharing resources is always tricky because most people don't search out these resources until they need them, and sometimes by then it's too late.

Find all the resources talked about in this episode on https://www.expectingrainbow.com/episode5. I encourage you to listen and learn about these resources so that you will know of them in the event that you need them.

There are so many ways to talk about pregnancy and infant loss and the words we use to acknowledge loss experiences and babies matter. In this episode, I share my view on words often used in "loss conversations" and how we can be more intentional when normalizing conversations around pregnancy loss and infant death.

When someone you know loses a baby, you want to comfort them, but you don't know what to say. You want to help, but you don't know what to do. In this episode, I talk about the wonderful things people did for me, and the things I would have wished they did.

In this episode, I share five ways you can show love and support to a friend who has experienced infant or pregnancy loss. These are just a few things you can do to show support, but by no means are they a "one-size-fits-all" solution. As everyone grieves and handles baby death differently, I encourage you to really listen to your friends when figuring out the best way to support them.

The grieving process looks a little different for everyone that experiences it. Some people retreat, some need to be surrounded by people. When I lost Steven, I had to learn what grieving looked like for me.

On this episode of Expecting Rainbow, I talk about the aftermath: losing my baby, how I felt, how I coped, and the little ways I started to heal.

Steven was only physically present in our lives for a moment, but he continues to be present in our lives.

On this episode of Expecting Rainbow, I tell his story. As I mention on the podcast, it's hard to not make his story my story, but in this episode I talk about the things I know about him, from the beginning.
