Speaking the Unspeakable: Miscarriage
In this episode
I’m sharing a personal experience I’ve never spoken publicly about before.
Content Warning: I will be talking about my experience of miscarriage and baby loss. If this feels supportive, then please listen. If not, feel free to skip this episode.
I recorded this episode on my phone, in bed at 6am – knowing I was ready to speak my story and share it with you.
When I went through miscarriage – something I found so helpful was hearing other peoples experiences and especially understanding practically, and physically what happened. I really go there in this episode.
Also, whilst it’s a deeply personal experience – it’s so incredibly common – and yet, I don’t feel we are given the space or tools to really speak about it, and that can make the entire experience feel incredibly lonely. I know for me, even with the support of my close ones, the experience of it felt really isolating – and I suppose that’s why hearing others share their stories, really helped me.
So that’s why I’m speaking my story today. Not as a medical professional, or a bereavement expert – but simply as one human to another – believing and trusting in the importance of speaking our stories – especially when it’s difficult.
“When you go through anything, any kind of grief, any kind of big loss like that, it takes time, and in many cases, time is the only thing that does work.”
