    Part 2: Guilt, Shame & The Blame Game

    Infertility, Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Losses are all traumatic. This is the 2nd part of our series because there is a lot of emotions and thoughts behind these feelings. The fuel for our traumas, PTSD, and grief after our losses can be guilt, shame and blame which are completely normal. Survivors are speaking out about our deepest thoughts that arose after our losses with these feelings that aren't talked about in our society or need to be kept quiet. Please tune in, follow and subscribe so we can continue to reach as many survivors as possible. For daily free support services or get involved uniting fertility, pregnancy and infant loss survivors, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠ChasingTheRainbows.org.⁠⁠⁠⁠ In honor of October Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, we are hosting our 3rd Honor Out Loud! candle lighting ceremony on October 15th at 7pm EST on Zoom.
