EP 169: Why Does Grief Keep You in Survival Mode After Loss?

Why does grief feel like survival mode long after miscarriage, infertility, and infant loss?In this episode, Miri shares her story of losing her first baby to miscarriage, walking through unexplained infertility, and grieving the death of her son Judah, who was born without kidneys and lived for six months. Together, we explore why grief doesn’t follow a timeline, how loss reshapes the brain, and why people often assume you’re “fine” once the tears stop.This conversation offers insight into long-term grief, faith after loss, identity shifts, and what healing really looks like when life moves on—but your grief doesn’t. If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure why loss still affects you years later, this episode is for you.Topics include: miscarriage, infertility, infant loss, long-term grief, faith after loss, emotional healing, and survival mode.
