Why Now? I Don’t Know What Triggered Me

Have you ever been blindsided by a wave of grief—out of nowhere—that takes your breath away?

In this tender episode of Childless and Moving Onward, host Gail Miller shares what it’s like to live with the unpredictable emotions of being childless not by choice. As a physician, life coach, and woman walking this road herself, Gail offers gentle guidance on how to ride these emotional waves with compassion instead of judgment.

She reflects on the power of naming what you feel, seeking connection with people who truly understand, and giving yourself permission to soften rather than push through. This episode reminds us that comfort can come in many forms.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why emotions can surface unexpectedly—and what helps in those moments
• The role of self-compassion when grief feels heavy and unrelenting
• How to find connection in a world that often misunderstands this pain
• Ways to honor your story and move forward with gentleness

If you’ve ever wondered how to carry those sudden, hard-hitting emotions, this conversation is here to remind you: you don’t have to do it alone.
