Pregnancy loss and baby loss affect far more families than many of us realise, yet these experiences are still often surrounded by silence, misunderstanding and stigma.

In this episode, I'm joined by Sands, the UK's leading pregnancy and baby loss charity, to explore the realities of loss and the impact it can have on individuals, families and working lives.

Together, we discuss why pregnancy and baby loss can feel so difficult to talk about, the hidden impact of grief in the workplace, and what managers, colleagues and organisations can do to provide meaningful support.

In this episode, we explore:

Why pregnancy loss and baby loss remain hidden experiences
The emotional impact of loss and grief
Returning to work whilst navigating loss
How colleagues and managers can offer compassionate support
Common responses that may unintentionally cause harm
What a pregnancy-loss-aware workplace looks like
Practical ways organisations can better support employees through loss

Whether you're a leader, colleague, friend or family member, this conversation offers valuable insights into how we can create more understanding and compassionate workplaces for those affected by pregnancy and baby loss.

Content note: This episode discusses miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, baby loss and grief.
