142 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness

In this episode of How to Deal with Grief and Trauma, Nathalie Himmelrich explores the history, importance, and impact of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness (PAIL). We talk about why this month of remembrance matters, what society can do to better support grieving families, and how bereaved parents can honor and integrate the memory of their babies.

You’ll also hear references to past podcast conversations with mothers and fathers who shared their experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss — powerful voices that remind us we are not alone in our grief.

Whether you are a grieving parent, a supporter, or someone wanting to learn, this episode is a heartfelt invitation to break the silence around these losses.
