Today, December 3rd, marks 5 years since I had a miscarriage. This episode relays that experience, what helped me get through it, and things I'm still learning even five years later. I hope this helps you if you have experienced miscarriage or loss yourself; I hope this helps you understand better others who have gone through this; I hope this gives you new perspective moving forward; I hope you know that you're not alone.
