Honoring Grieving Mothers: International Bereaved Mother’s Day
In this special episode, we pause to honor the invisible yet enduring journey of bereaved mothers—those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant loss. Dr. Michael Nwaneri from Omega Pediatrics and Have More Babies takes a heartfelt and science-informed approach to validating the grief of mothers who carry love for a child no longer here.
We discuss:
- The psychological impact of pregnancy and infant loss, including PTSD-like symptoms
- Coping methods that research and lived experiences suggest can help, including:
- Naming the child and honoring birthdays or due dates
- Journaling grief stories to find meaning and regulation
- Support groups (online or in-person)
- Somatic therapies like yoga, EMDR, and breathwork
- The importance of granting oneself permission to grieve and celebrate—sometimes in the same breath
This episode is a compassionate call to recognize all forms of motherhood and to support grieving mothers through education, validation, and connection.
🕊️ You are not alone. Your grief is sacred. Your story matters.
