#ThroughLossWithSupport

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, we chat with the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre and take a closer look at what happens after the hospital — when support often fades, but the experience doesn’t. We explore the gap between the care people need and what’s actually available, from limited follow-up to the lack of couple-focused and loss-specific services. This episode also highlights how community-based spaces can make support feel more accessible, and why reaching out early (even before things feel overwhelming) can matter more than we think.

#ThroughLossWithEvidence

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, Dr. Emily Impett reflects on why research on pregnancy loss matters, especially from a couple-focused perspective. She explains how grief doesn’t just unfold within individuals, but within relationships, as partners try to navigate their own emotions while responding to each other’s. We explore what makes studying these interpersonal dynamics so important, how research in this area is evolving, and what it can teach us about better supporting couples through loss.

#ThroughLossWithUnderstanding

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, we explore why pregnancy loss still feels so invisible and isolating. PhD student Mustafa Anil Topal shares insights from his research on how couples navigate grief together, why partners experience the same loss differently, and how misunderstandings can arise even between people who love and support each other. We also learn about Topal’s ongoing study tracking couples over eight weeks to better understand relational grief and the behaviors that help support well-being.

#ThroughLossWithStrategies

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, Loralee McInroy from the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network shares how community-based support can make a difference after pregnancy loss. She walks through the different types of support available, from peer groups to one-on-one connections, and reflects on why having options matters when people don’t always know what they need. We also explore gaps in care, especially in healthcare settings, and how small changes in language and awareness can help families feel more seen and supported.

#ThroughLossWithEmotion

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, Dr. Jessica Barboza explores how couples navigate grief when their emotional responses don’t match. She shares insights on different coping styles, why partners may experience and express grief differently, and how these differences can sometimes create distance. We also explore how couples can learn to grieve both together and apart, finding moments of connection while honoring individual experiences.

#ThroughLossWithLove

#ThroughLossWithPartners

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, we hear from Brandon Drouillard, a bereaved father and education coordinator, as he shares his experience of pregnancy and infant loss from the perspective of a non-birthing partner. He reflects on the moment of loss, how grief showed up differently within his relationship, and the ways he and his partner worked to stay connected through it. Brandon also speaks about how his lived experience now shapes the way he supports other families, and why recognizing the grief of both partners matters.

#ThroughLossWithStory

In this episode of #ThroughLossWithLove, we hear Jess share her personal journey through multiple early pregnancy losses and how she and her partner navigated grief together. She reflects on the differences in how partners experience the same loss, the challenges that can arise in communication, and the small moments of connection that strengthened their bond. Through her story, we explore how couples can honour individual emotions while supporting each other through shared loss.
