#486: Holding Hope After Miscarriage with Kenzie Covarrubias

There are some experiences in life that we simply cannot prepare our hearts for.

Pregnancy loss is one of them.

This week, we sit down with Kenzie Covarrubias, co-founder of Held in Hope, for a tender conversation about miscarriage, grief, and what it truly means to care for a woman through loss. Because a miscarriage is so much more than a medical event. There was a mother who was full of hopes and dreams, and a baby who was already deeply loved.

How do we give women the information they need while still honoring the sacredness of what they're experiencing? And when someone we love is grieving, how do we resist the urge to fix it and simply be there?

There is no one right way to move through loss. But there are gentler ways to hold one another through it.

This is one of those conversations we wish no one ever needed, and one we believe every woman deserves to hear.
