Pregnancy Loss: Breaking the Silence and Stigma

Now, we’re moving into a really important conversation - one that isn’t talked about nearly enough. Miscarriage affects so many families, but the emotional impact and the need for proper support is often overlooked. Recently, there’s been a significant change in Northern Ireland, where parents are now entitled to paid leave after a miscarriage - something that doesn’t currently exist here in Ireland, where many grieving parents are left relying on sick leave instead.    To help us understand the emotional reality behind this, and what real support should look like, we’re joined by fertility coach Helena Tubridy.
