In this deeply moving episode of What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss, host Sharna Southan sits down with Jelissa, a mother who has walked the challenging path of pregnancy loss and found ways to reclaim purpose and light. Together, they discuss the hidden complexities of grief, the importance of support, and the journey toward healing after unimaginable loss. Jelissa opens up about her experience with IVF, the devastating loss of her daughter Yvette, and the isolation and self-doubt that often accompany this kind of grief. As someone who has since transformed her pain into purpose, Jelissa now supports other bereaved parents through community events, peer mentorship, and her work as a pregnancy loss practitioner. This episode offers powerful insights into the importance of community, the gaps in the current support systems, and the resilience it takes to navigate life after loss. Join us as we delve into topics such as: • The healing impact of connecting with other parents who have experienced loss • Finding purpose and building a path forward amid grief • Breaking down societal stigmas around pregnancy loss • Creating supportive spaces for bereaved parents in a world that often falls short of understanding Jelissa’s story is a testament to the strength within each of us to turn pain into purpose. Whether you’re a parent who has experienced loss, a supporter, or a professional in the space, this conversation will remind you that there is light to be found—even in the darkest of places.
