We dive into one of the heaviest parts of grief after losing a baby: the relentless 'What Ifs.' What if I had gone to the hospital sooner? What if I had rested more? What if I had done something differently? These thoughts are not just fleeting—they become stones we carry, weighing us down day and night.
Jennifer Senn shares personal insights, compassionate advice, and practical tools to help soften these thoughts and begin to set them down, one by one. You'll learn how guilt is often a reflection of love, not failure, and how letting go of guilt doesn’t mean letting go of your baby.
Whether you're in the depths of these thoughts or supporting someone who is, this episode offers gentle encouragement and hope.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why guilt and self-blame are so common after baby loss.
- How guilt is often a reflection of love, not proof of failure.
- The ‘backpack of guilt’ metaphor and how to begin letting go, one rock at a time.
- Practical tools for easing guilt, including grounding techniques, mantras, and journaling.
- Why healing doesn’t mean forgetting your baby—it means making space for love and peace to coexist.
Mantra to Remember: "I did the best I could with what I knew then."
Remember, letting go of guilt doesn’t mean letting go of your baby—it means giving yourself permission to heal. You deserve peace, rest, and love, and your baby would want that for you, too.
