109: Why Did My Baby Have to Die?
Manage episode 485568419 series 3365992
Have you ever looked around and thought, “Why me?” Or maybe more often, “Why not them?”
In this raw and necessary episode, I’m talking about something that many of us feel but almost never say out loud: survivor’s guilt after stillbirth. That gut-punching question — Why was I allowed to live when my baby wasn’t? — doesn’t have easy answers, but you’re not the only one who’s asked it. I’ve asked it too.
If your grief is tangled with guilt, shame, or that deep sense that you should have done something, this episode will feel like a breath of honesty and relief. I’ll help you understand where these thoughts come from, why they’re so common, and how to start loosening their grip — without ever letting go of your love.
You’re not broken for feeling this way. You’re grieving. And you deserve support, not shame.
What You’ll Learn:
- What survivor’s guilt really is — and why it’s so common after stillbirth
- The “should have” thoughts that keep moms stuck in blame
- How guilt shows up in your everyday life (even when you don’t realize it)
- What to say to yourself when the guilt voice whispers or shouts
- How to begin replacing guilt with truth and reclaim your right to live
- Why honoring your life is one of the bravest ways to honor your baby’s
