Episode #005- Navigating Infertility + Loss from the Male Perspective and How to Support a Grieving Dad (with my husband David Blair)

See this content in the original post

This week I have the pleasure of interviewing my husband of nearly 9 years, my best friend, and the father of my 9 babies in heaven and 2 here on earth - David Blair.

With Father’s Day weekend coming up this week, I wanted to focus this week’s episode on Dads. Dads who have lost a baby and Dads who are still in waiting.

In this episode, David shares what his grieving process was like over our 7 year journey of recurrent pregnancy loss and we discuss the ways that his grief differed from mine, and how that impacted our marriage. He also shares how we grew to support and provide space for each other over the years, what we wish we could go back and tell ourselves in the very beginning, and how others can support a grieving Dad. David shares candidly and vulnerably and offers an honest perspective and insight on the ways our partner’s often experience and grieve in infertility & loss. Thank you for being here, friend. I hope this episode sparks courage and ignites hope for you in the week ahead.
