107: Are You Holding Onto Grief Because You’re Afraid to Let Go?

Send Jen a Text MessageThis one might hit a nerve… and I’m okay with that.In this solo episode, I’m gently (and lovingly) calling out something that I see a lot in my coaching practice — and that I’ve lived through myself. I’m talking about the hidden ways we can hold onto our grief, not because we want to suffer, but because it feels like the only connection we have left to our baby.Sometimes we say we want healing, but we’re not ready to let go of what’s keeping us stuck. And that’s okay. This isn’t about judgment — it’s about noticing. And once you notice, you can decide what to do next.I share my own story of staying stuck in grief for years after losing my twins, and how one client’s tearful breakthrough reminded me just how powerful this work can be.You are not broken. You're not behind. And you're definitely not alone. This episode is an invitation to get real, get honest, and maybe — just maybe — start making space for a little more peace in your life.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why some moms unconsciously cling to grief — and what that really meansThe quiet fear that healing means forgetting your babyA real story from a client who thought she couldn’t move forward — and what changedHow guilt and self-protection keep us stuck in sadnessWhy feeling joy doesn’t mean you’re leaving your baby behindWhat coaching can offer that therapy sometimes doesn’tResources Mentioned: ➡️ Join the Stillbirth Roadmap: https://jennifersenn.com/stillbirth-roadmap ➡️ Listen to the episode on the difference between coaching and therapy: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/navigating-baby-loss/id1631935976 ➡️ Learn more at https://jennifersenn.comhttps://navigatingbabyloss.com/workshopFree workshop for moms grieving stillbirth or pregnancy loss.
