How To Deal With Grief and Trauma
149 PAIL Mini Series | Navigating the Waves of Grief & Practical Support Matters
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and with it comes a deeply meaningful PAIL Mini Series here on How to Deal With Grief and Trauma.
In this third solo episode, we explore two central themes:
- Navigating the waves of grief, and
- how practical support really matters in easing the everyday load of life after loss.
Grief moves like waves — unpredictable, powerful, and always changing.
In this episode, we explore the emotional tides of pregnancy and infant loss and how understanding these rhythms can help both grievers and supporters find steadiness.
I also shared practical, compassionate ways loved ones can help ease daily burdens when words aren’t enough.
