How does sharing about some of our deepest pains help to process, heal and find meaning within our experiences?  Our guest Susan Stange examples that today by talking about her recent miscarriage experience.  After 4 hospital births, for this pregnancy, Susan was set on a home birth.  Around 11 weeks, the pregnancy ended. A month later, Susan went through a labor and birth experience in her home. She walks us through her process - the ups and downs, what’s been helping in the healing journey and how she’s been connecting with others.  From Susan:  "I recently experienced a miscarriage. I have been rather open about my experience and have been surprised by how many people who have reached out to tell me what my willingness to share my story has meant to them. That my story has helped them process theirs. Their healing fuels my healing and gives my sadness meaning, rather than it being unnecessary suffering. I thought I would reach out. Part of my story is that I was going to have a home birth, and my home birth midwife was an important part of my experience. My birth didn’t come to fruition and end with a beautiful healthy baby, but I would choose a home birth again in a heartbeat."
