Stigma, Fertility & Grief: Navigating Loss — A Conversation with Erica Freeman of Sisters in Loss

In this powerful episode of Chats Unmuted, we sit down with the multihyphenate Erica Freeman, the CEO and Founder of Sisters in Loss, engineer, and doula to talk about the often silent battles couples face when navigating pregnancy loss, infant loss, miscarriage, and compounded grief.

We discuss:

How miscarriage and infant loss impact marriages
Why grief is so often hidden in Black families and faith spaces
What support actually looks like for couples after loss
The emotional and spiritual weight of grieving the life you imagined
The work Sisters in Loss does to serve grieving mothers and families
Doula support, post-loss resources, and how partners can show up
Cultural stigma, faith, and healing in real time

We also discussed the viral interview from Pregnant Pause Pod with Pattern Beauty Exec Amy Elisa Jackson about compounded grief, widowhood, miscarriages, and postmortem sperm retrieval and ask: “What would you do in those circumstances?”

This episode is for anyone walking through grief, loving someone in grief, or supporting couples as they try to rebuild after heartbreak.

Get to Know: Erica M. Freeman, MA-MCHS, CD, is an expert storyteller, award winning podcaster, and Founder and CEO of Sisters in Loss, a maternal child health education company that helps Black women replace silence with storytelling around pregnancy and infant loss and infertility. Sisters in Loss provides pregnancy, birth, postpartum, bereavement doula, and grief services to help women step beyond anxiety and fear and into trust and peace after loss. As a savvy, creative engineer, Erica is known for a results-based, no-fluff approach in her work as a podcaster, grief educator, and motivational speaker. As a result of her own journey to motherhood, she started the Sisters in Loss podcast, which spotlights resilient Black mothers who share intimate details of their journey to motherhood through painful, but inspirational loss and infertility stories.
