Let me be honest—no one ever prepared me for the silence.
Not the silence in the room after my daughter was born still…
Not the silence from my providers after I left the hospital…
And definitely not the silence in the grief training that never came.

Now, as a pregnancy loss educator and bereaved mother, I teach professionals what I wish someone had taught the people who cared for me.

Too often, well-meaning doulas, nurses, and therapists say or do things they believe are comforting—but they actually deepen the trauma.
