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 fourth episode, we explore two central themes:

  • how the body remembers grief — physically, hormonally, emotionally — and 
  • how honoring important dates can help bring gentle healing and connection.

This episode speaks to both parents who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss and the people who wish to support them with sensitivity and presence.
