The holidays can intensify grief, especially for those navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and baby loss—and it often feels like no one is talking about it.

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr. Camelia Clarke, a nationally recognized death care expert and spokesperson for the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), to explore why grief during the holidays can feel heavier for individuals and families experiencing infertility and loss.

Together, they discuss how grief shows up differently after miscarriage, stillbirth, and infertility, why grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and how to hold both sorrow and moments of joy at the same time. Dr. Clarke also shares guidance on setting boundaries during the holidays, navigating difficult family dynamics, and supporting loved ones who are grieving—without minimizing their pain.

This episode offers compassionate insight, practical support, and validation for anyone facing holiday grief related to infertility or pregnancy loss, as well as for those who want to show up better for the people they love.
