The Missing Piece Masterclass | June 1st Many bereaved mothers are still moving through pregnancy loss feeling unseen, unsupported, or expected to "move on" before their nervous systems have ever truly processed what happened.

One in four. That's the documented statistic. But today's guest, Dr Amanda Garnica — clinical psychologist, researcher, and loss mum herself — believes the real number is far bigger. Because when something is this stigmatised, people don't report it. And when it's not reported, it doesn't exist in the data. And when it doesn't exist in the data, the system has no reason to change.   If t...

Something shifted after your loss. Not just grief. Not just pain. A quiet, persistent knowing that what you experienced — or what you watched someone else go through — should not have happened the way it did. That the support wasn't there. That the medical system moved on before you did. That somewhere underneath all of it was a thought you haven't said out loud yet. I don't want other women to fe...
