Chris Jaeger talks with his cousin Jess about miscarriage. She tells her heartbreaking story of pregnancy loss.
Miscarriage can inflict profound emotional wounds, often leading to a complex array of mental health challenges. Grief, guilt, and deep sadness may engulf individuals and couples, triggering feelings of inadequacy and despair. Anxiety and depression can emerge, lingering long after the physical pain subsides. The loss of a hoped-for future can leave a deep sense of emptiness and longing. Yet, amidst the darkness, there's resilience. Seeking support, whether through therapy, community, or loved ones, can foster healing. Acknowledging the validity of one's grief and allowing space for emotional expression are crucial steps towards navigating the arduous path to recovery.
