Understanding Grief in Pregnancy Loss & Fertility Struggles with Julia Bueno

For this last episode in this series I am joined by psychotherapist and author of Brink of Being, Julia Bueno. Julia shares her insights on miscarriage and pregnancy loss, discussing her personal experiences and the evolution of support systems over the years. We discuss:How miscarriage is a deeply personal experience that varies for each individual.How support for pregnancy loss has improved significantly over the years.The cultural shifts which have made it easier to discuss miscarriage openly.How grief associated with pregnancy loss is often future-oriented, tied to imagined family life.Why Self-compassion is crucial for those experiencing grief.How men may grieve differently and often feel the need to protect their partners from their own feelings.How support from friends and family can be more helpful than words; actions often speak louder.Why managing anxiety during subsequent pregnancies is a common challenge that requires compassion and understanding.Find out more about Julia and her book Brink of Being here.For further miscarriage support see:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worst Girl Gang Ever⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tommys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Miscarriage Association⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Held in Our Hearts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't Tell Me To RELAX is sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Acupips,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ quote RELAX for 20% discount.❤️ Join our Don't Tell Me to RELAX fertility support community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💛 See ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hannah Pearn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more information on where we work.🤩 Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
