Childless And Moving Onward

Memories That Are Bittersweet


Listen Later

If looking back has ever made you grieve the life you imagined - press play.

When host Gail Miller found a box of old scrapbooks, she didn’t expect it to bring a flood of unexpected emotions. But what she uncovered wasn’t just photos - it was a portal into a life she had always imagined, but out of reach.

In this episode, Gail opens up about the bittersweet grief that can live quietly inside the childless not by choice experience - and what happens when that grief is finally given space to speak.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why grief doesn’t always look like loss - and how joy can sometimes make it sharper
  • How to gently allow space for feelings you’ve tucked away
  • Simple practices for processing complex emotions without judgment
  • Creative ways to honor your story - even when it feels unfinished
  • This episode is honest, tender, and full of quiet strength. We talk about invisible wounds, memory triggers, and how to move forward with softness and self-compassion.

    If you’ve ever looked back and wondered what might have been—this one’s for you.
