EPISODE 37 SHOW NOTES
October is Pregnancy, Infant, and Child Loss Awareness Month, a special month to honor the babies, spirit babies, and children who have passed much sooner than expected, and the mothers and families who hold their love and grief in their hearts.
In this vulnerable episode, Sabrina Fletcher shares the heartbreaking journey of terminating her pregnancy for medical reasons (TFMR) after receiving the devastating news that her baby would not survive. With immense grief, she chose compassion and made the excruciating decision to terminate the pregnancy of her baby girl, Clara.
Sabrina recounts the isolation and lack of support she felt during the traumatic process, realizing the urgent need for TFMR-specific doula care. Now a bereavement doula herself, Sabrina holds space for others to process their loss, grieve freely, and rediscover purpose through continuing bonds with their babies. With great courage and deep compassion, she spreads awareness about the complex emotions surrounding TFMR to break the silence and stigma.
Join us as Sabrina shares Clara’s legacy and navigating life after unimaginable loss.
