This week's episode, I interviewed Karyn Rosenberg, quite a while ago, but as we were getting Men's Helpline up and running, my attention had been distracted. Karyn and I discuss that often when we think about infertility, we don't always think it is grief that we are going through. We also talk about disenfranchised grief, as it relates to Mother's Day and Father's Day.
