Finding Hope and Healing: A Conversation with Claire Khalifa About Parenting After Loss

SHOW NOTES: Episode 38

Welcome beautiful souls to another episode of the What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss podcast. I have Claire Khalifa on today to share more about her personal experiences with pregnancy loss, including a missed miscarriage and a medically advised termination.

Claire discussed the challenges of transitioning into parenthood after loss, including the anxiety surrounding birth and the need to advocate for her own needs during the birthing process. Open conversation about this is crucial.

There is truly a need for more support and understanding surrounding pregnancy loss. Creating safe spaces for sharing experiences is essential for healing. This is why I do the work that I do in the Pregnancy Loss Practitioner Program through the Institute of Healing After Pregnancy Loss.
