47) Miscarriage grief with Ilena (TW)

Trigger Warning

For those who have experienced it, and for those who may know someone who has, this episode dives into a deeply personal and often unspoken topic: the emotional journey of pregnancy loss and its far-reaching impact. While rarely discussed, this episode within our Maternal Mental Health series is a heartfelt conversation about the emotional toll, the healing process, and the vital role of support—whether you’re in the midst of the experience or offering support to others.

Eva and Maren are joined by Ilena Standring, an expert in maternal mental health who supports mothers throughout pregnancy, birthing, and beyond. Ilena shares her insights and knowledge about how to navigate the profound grief that follows pregnancy loss, offering comfort and practical advice for those affected.

This conversation aims to shed light on a topic that often goes under-addressed but is so important to acknowledge and discuss. Ilena also speaks about her article for Amsterdam Mamas on this subject, providing additional resources for those who may need them.

If you or someone you know is struggling with this, or if you’re interested in learning more about supporting those who are, this episode is a compassionate resource. We hope this sparks further conversations about this sensitive topic, and we invite feedback to explore it from other rarely spoken angles in future episodes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Navigating the emotional and mental toll of pregnancy loss

  • The importance of support for those experiencing loss and grief

  • How to approach the topic of loss with sensitivity and care

  • Ilena's expert insights on maternal mental health during and after pregnancy loss



Ilena spoke about the article she wrote previously for Amsterdam Mamas which you can find here
