Unexpecting: A Chana Podcast

Stillbirth is so often met with silence, leaving couples to carry their grief alone. In this moving conversation with Chana Support Worker and Psychotherapist Nechoma Schwab, a Chana client shares her story; from hearing there was no heartbeat, to giving birth, to facing a heartbreak no one prepared her for.She speaks openly about the silence that followed her loss: giving birth with no preparation, the absence of a baby to hold, and the lack of acknowledgement for what she had been through.Together, they explore the physical and emotional pain that followed, the guilt, the blame, the fear in future pregnancies, and the loneliness of grieving in different ways. Most of all, they talk about what it means to have your experience acknowledged and how, for her, being heard and supported made all the difference.This episode is about the stories too often left untold and why it matters that we listen.If you are struggling on your fertility journey, head over to https://www.chana.org.uk/ and get in touch with one of our experts.If you enjoyed listening, please subscribe, rate, review and share on social media.
