Infertility Grief - Why the 5 Stages Don't Work & What Does

#024: Infertility Grief - Why the 5 Stages Don't Work!

 

Remember being taught the 5 stages of grief in school?

No? Ok, here's a quick recap: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance.

But why doesn't this popular model help us when we're dealing with infertility or pregnancy loss grief?

In this podcast episode, I explore why the five stages do not fully capture the experiences of those facing, and ending a family building journey, and offer up a fresh perspective on how to view your grief that is much easier for us to understand and work through.

I'm also sharing how stress can pop up even in situations we deem as "good" or "positive", and still bring about a sense of loss.

So, how do you frame your grief in a way that makes sense?
