Description

TW: pregnancy loss, some discussion of medical procedures.

In this episode of I sit down with author J.S. Loving for an open, heartfelt conversation about a father’s experience with miscarriage. The pain, the silence, and the long road toward healing.

While much of the conversation around pregnancy loss centers mothers (as it should), fathers often grieve quietly in the background, unsure where to put their pain or how to talk about it. J.S. shares his personal story of loss, what inspired his writing, and why he believes it’s time we start including men in the conversation about miscarriage and grief.

Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage personally or are supporting someone who has, this episode offers compassion, insight, and a reminder that grief doesn’t follow gender rules.
