In this episode, we explore how to rebuild relationships after the devastating loss of a baby to stillbirth. Whether it's your relationship with your partner, friends, or family, grief can deeply impact these connections. Jen shares her personal story of how seeing someone turn away from her at the grocery store after her loss left her feeling broken and isolated. From there, she dives into how you can stay connected with loved ones and ask for the support you need while healing.

Key Topics:

• Healing with Your Partner: How to navigate grief together and stay connected emotionally, even when you’re grieving in different ways.
• Navigating Friendships: Why some friends pull away and how to communicate your needs to those who want to support you.
• Family Dynamics and Boundaries: How to handle well-meaning but sometimes hurtful family comments and set boundaries to protect your heart.
• Rebuilding Trust and Connection: Practical steps for rebuilding relationships after loss, with grace and patience for yourself and others.

Memorable Quote: "I remember the moment I saw someone I knew at the grocery store, and they turned their cart around to avoid me. It left me feeling worthless. But what I’ve learned since then is that I deserve relationships that honor my grief, and so do you."
