Welcome back to Just a Thought! In this episode, I discuss setting boundaries as a loss parent and why they are important to your mental health. Ways I set boundaries in my personal life include 1) with friends and hearing about the issues in their life, 2) with social media, 3) with social events, and 4) with friends that have babies.

Welcome back to Just a Thought! In this episode, I discuss how to support loss parents using trauma informed language. While there are no “right things” to say, it’s important we are educated and use language that is supportive and helpful to the person going through loss.

Welcome to Just a Thought! In this episode, I introduce James and I’s experience with child loss.
In May of 2021 we experienced a miscarriage. In May of 2022, I was 27 weeks pregnant when we got into a car accident and lost our son. Child loss is something that is so taboo and I don’t know why! As mamas, we feel so much shame around it, so let’s help each other out and talk about it!
