    EP 168: Why Are Fertility and Pregnancy Struggles Still So Hard to Talk About?

    Why is infertility, pregnancy loss, and grief so often met with silence?In this episode of Finding Hope After Loss, Sarah sits down with author Amy Meyerson, whose novel The Water Lies explores the hidden emotional landscape of fertility struggles, pregnancy fears, infertility, and loss through the power of fiction. Together, they unpack why so many women feel unable to speak openly about infertility, pregnancy loss, and grief, and how judgment around C-sections, maternal age, fertility treatment, and motherhood deepens that silence. Amy shares what inspired her to weave themes of loss, infertility, and maternal intuition into her writing, and why fiction can sometimes say what real life conversations cannot. This episode explores the emotional weight carried before, during, and after pregnancy—offering validation for anyone navigating infertility, pregnancy anxiety, loss, or the quiet grief that often goes unseen. A meaningful listen for those seeking understanding, language, and hope in the midst of fertility and pregnancy struggles.
