What is a grief coach? How is it different than therapy? Can we really live a happy life after grief?

Often it is hard to find the right support following early pregnancy loss. Maybe support groups aren't your thing, maybe therapy didn't work, often there isn't a one size fixes all solution to grief. So what else is out there?

Grief coach Teresa Reiniger explains her work and how she is equipped to help those suffering miscarriage.

A hushed culture surrounding pregnancy loss has not nurtured respect, privacy, and space; instead we have isolated women, encouraged shame, and failed to provide for their basic needs during and following early pregnancy loss. 

To kick of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month Emily and Maria discuss how an open dialog  of early pregnancy loss can help us dignify these mothers and their families.  

Warning: In this episode we candidly describe the physical experience of our miscarriages.
