Grief after pregnancy or infant loss is often met with silence or words that miss the mark. In this episode, host Dr. Norbert Gleicher speaks with Dr. Simone Tomasi, consulting psychiatrist at CHR, about the power of language in supporting those who have experienced loss. Together, they explore what to say (and what not to say), how compassion can help families feel seen, and why holding space for grief is an essential part of healing.
