On today's episode of the Miscarriage Rebellion, we welcome Terry Diamond. Terry is a former Perinatal Bereavement Counsellor, currently working as a Social Worker at the Royal Hospital for Women [https://www.royalwomen.org.au/who-we-are?gclid=Cj0KCQjwj5mpBhDJARIsAOVjBdq27r-m34i3s2xhJKBbIdpQeeulGG3SGCUyquQMDH_ReNvk89YvM14aAg6XEALw_wcB&] in Sydney. She also is a mother who has unfortunately experienced first hand multiple miscarriages through secondary infertility. Her story was one that was not met with the validation and empathy it deserved. Terry also provides us with a clinical perspective on what fundamentally needs to change so that women and their families are met with the support they so desperately need and deserve when facing pregnancy and infant loss.

Pink Elephants believe everyone deserves support following the loss of their baby.
We have been providing support to many ten's of thousands of people for nearly 8 years, raising funds through generous donors. We now need ongoing Government support to empower our circle of support.
We are calling on the Government to provide us with $1.6million over 4 years to help bridge the gap. Sign our petition. [https://miscarriagerebellion.good.do/themiscarriagerebellion/pink-elephants-petition/]
Early pregnancy loss is not just a private grief, but a national issue that requires collective empathy, awareness, and action. By recognising and addressing this, we can make meaningful change in the lives of 100,000+ women who experience early pregnancy loss every year.
