Navigating pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or infant loss can be an incredibly lonely and isolating experience. Far too often, conventional medical systems brush these traumas under the rug, leaving grieving families with few resources and little emotional support. In this episode, Dr. Angela Potter sits down with Bernice, the inspiring founder of Chasing the Rainbows, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a daily care model for reproductive grief.
Bernice shares her powerful personal story of dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, secondary infertility, and the sudden, heartbreaking loss of her infant daughter in the NICU. After struggling to find accessible mental health services, she took down the traditional barriers to care. Tune in to learn how her organization provides immediate, trauma-informed support to help parents heal without rigid timelines or judgment.
"Grief doesn't fit into a tidy box. One day you might need to journal, and the next day you might need movement. We are here to meet you exactly where you are today."
