The Shadow of the Cradle

from The Grief Lab · host The Grief Lab

Today, we are investigating a 'Silent Lab', the space where we mourn What Never Was. We’re talking about pregnancy loss, infertility, and the 'unlived lives' we planned with people who never arrived.In the West, this is often treated as a 'medical event.' But in the Lab, we see it as a Linguistic and Philosophical Crisis. We’re investigating why the brain mourns a 'Potentiality' just as fiercely as a 'Reality.' We’re looking at Søren Kierkegaard’s ideas on 'Anxiety and Possibility.' If you’ve ever felt like you were crying for a ghost that never had a name, stay with us. We’re going to look at 'The Shadow of the Cradle.'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
