125: A Christmas Message for Loss Moms

Send Jen a Text MessageIt’s Christmas Day. And whether you celebrate or not, this day has a weight to it that’s impossible to ignore.The quiet feels louder. The joy around you feels sharper. And the absence of your baby feels overwhelming.Today’s episode is not about fixing your grief or making today feel “okay.” It’s about sitting with you in it. Letting you know that you’re not wrong for how you feel, that your baby is remembered, and that there is room for all of it — anger, sadness, love, resentment, gratitude, and even moments of joy.Christmas has a way of drawing lines in the sand. “My baby should be here.” “They would’ve been this old.” “This is not what I pictured.”And when reality doesn’t match the picture you had in your head, it can feel devastating.In this episode, I talk honestly about:Why holidays hit differently after stillbirthThe guilt that sneaks in when you’re not joyful enoughHow joy and grief can exist at the same timeWhy laughing doesn’t mean you loved your baby any lessAnd how to gently honor your baby today in a way that feels right for youThere is no right or wrong way to spend today. There is only your way.And however you’re surviving this day — you’re doing it right.SOS Coaching Session Linkhttps://navigatingbabyloss.com/workshopFree workshop for moms grieving stillbirth or pregnancy loss.
