Infertility Grief - Why the 5 Stages Don't Work & What Does

Life Beyond Infertility

#024: Infertility Grief - Why the 5 Stages Don't Work!

Remember being taught the 5 stages of grief in school?

No? Ok, here's a quick recap: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance.

But why doesn't this popular model help us when we're dealing with infertility or pregnancy loss grief?

I'm also sharing how stress can pop up even in situations we deem as "good" or "positive", and still bring about a sense of loss.

So, how do you frame your grief in a way that makes sense?
