Life After the Hardest Goodbye
Pregnancy and infant loss are not a typical dinner table conversation unless you, like me, have empty seats at that table. Please consider this your invitation to my metaphorical weekly dinner party, where we discuss it with care and without judgment.
I’m your host, Gina Gonzalez. In me, your host, you get a mom who experienced loss, a licensed mental health professional, and a PsyD graduate as a subject matter expert on perinatal loss.
This is where we speak candidly about living life after the death of a baby. This topic is not for the faint of heart, but neither is the experience of losing a baby. Here we are willing to go deep, get muddy, and embrace all the mess this journey can involve.
We will explore different aspects of life that we are often not given a heads-up about in order to prepare and then left with a full mix of unexpected thoughts and emotions.
This Podcast is where:
Where lived experience laid the foundation.
Clinical expertise strives to empower resilience.
Curiosity drives passion for how we can enhance support for our community.
