When Your Grief Isn’t Seen: Why We Need to Talk About Infertility

This week, I’m joined by Fran Pitre—a singer, author, and twin mom six times over—who opens up about a grief journey many experience but few speak about: infertility.Fran takes us into the private, silent moments where grief grows: the tests, the waiting, the strain it puts on a marriage, and the ache of feeling betrayed by your own body. She speaks candidly about how depression, anger, and isolation showed up in the midst of her struggle to become a mother—and how she and her husband learned to give each other space, communicate with honesty, and protect their relationship through it all.Her memoir, TWINS x3, began as a journal and became a blueprint of hope and faith. Over the years, it’s resonated with countless women navigating infertility, NICU struggles, and what it means to carry grief while keeping your heart open.Fran also shares her creative process—writing while on three months of bedrest, remastering the book for its 10-year anniversary, and now turning that story into an audiobook. As a lifelong musician, Fran reminds us that healing comes in many forms—sometimes through music, sometimes through storytelling, and sometimes through quietly reminding someone else that they’re not alone.This episode is for anyone who has ever carried invisible grief, questioned their faith, or felt like no one else could understand.Connect with Fran: https://www.franpitresings.com/
