Mother Up Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month: A Grief Guide for Surviving Infant Loss and Miscarriage With Grief and Wellness Coach Jennifer Morrow
This week kicks off a five part series highlighting stories and topics surrounding pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. Kacie and Gianna hope to bring new awareness and light to these tough subjects to help those who have gone through it, or are currently going through it, feel less alone.
This episode in particular is an interview coming from Gianna’s former podcast, So Sorry For Your Loss, and highlights grief coach Jen Morrow’s personal experience with stillbirth and miscarriage. Jen discusses how she has turned her pain into power by helping others process grief & life after loss, sharing tips to help heal & thrive after devastating pain. She bravely details the moment a doctor reached across the desk and told her to prepare for miscarriage or stillbirth. A few weeks short of full term, she delivered her son Matthew and held him until he passed away only hours later. She went on to experience another miscarriage before welcoming her rainbow baby girl (and a second one since this episode first aired in 2021)!
We discuss:
Jen’s story of losing her son Matthew
Early warning signs
Tangible tips for handling common situations after miscarriage (social media, going back to the OBGYN, baby showers and more)
Why life after loss doesn’t equate to failure
Her rainbow baby, Sienna
Maintaining a bond with your partner when going through loss
Processing grief in a sustainable and healthy way
Returning to intimacy
And more
