21 Sharna Southan | The Changes Needed in Pregnancy Loss Support

Send us Fan MailToday on the podcast I’m speaking with Sharna who I’ve come to appreciate as a force for change in regard to the support offered to women in dealing with their pregnancy loss, a passion we have in common. Talking about her missed miscarriage Sharna shares:‘…never experienced contractions before so I didn’t know that's what I was experiencing until I got to the hospital until they told me then what was going on. They also told me that one in four pregnancies ends in loss and I was like: “Well, then why do I feel like I'm the only one? Why is there not enough information? Why does no one talk about this?” I felt like I was living under a rock, like where have I been my whole life to not know about this?’ About this week’s guest Sharna Southan is an ICF-certified coach, a mum to her rainbow baby, a business owner and a wife. She followed her heart and soul into business after her own pregnancy loss in 2017. Sharna firmly believes that our adversity gives us an opportunity to grow. She founded The Institute of Healing through Pregnancy Loss supporting loss parents with her transformative Pregnancy Loss recovery method and teaching her signature Pregnancy Loss Practitioner™️ Certification Program. Topics discussed in this episodeDealing with the loss of her father at the age of nineteen, led to depression, anxiety, panic attacksMissed miscarriage and the trauma of miscarrying Feeling isolated in not knowing that 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in lossLack of information and support on what miscarriage means emotionally, and physically and what it may require in careFinding help through professional supportResources mentioned in this episodeGrieving Parents Support NetworkMay We All Heal peer support groupLinks--> For more information, please visit Nathalie’s website. --> Subscribe to the newsletter to receive updates on future episodes here.--> Join the podcast’s Instagram page.Thanks for listening to HOW TO DEAL WITH GRIEF AND TRAUMA.
