How do you return to work after a pregnancy loss when you support pregnancy, mothers, and babies for a living?

This is the situation that Lactation Consultant, Midwife, Naturopath & Educator Joelleen Winduss Paye found herself in when she lost her baby girl 16 weeks into pregnancy. She experienced labour, her milk came in, and she somehow got through what she didn't think she could.

Here, Joelleen intimately walks us through it all: how she navigated it, how she returned to work after a postpartum that came much earlier than expected, and how we can better support parents experiencing loss.
