In this touching episode of Grief & Grit, we continue our series for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month with a very special guest, Sarah Jarvis. Sarah shares her deeply personal and emotional journey through infertility, the grief of unmet expectations, and the transformative experience of building her family through surrogacy and adoption.
Sarah’s story is one of resilience, love, and surrender—learning to let go of the image of how life "should" be and embracing the miracles that come in unexpected ways. She opens up about the challenges of infertility, the emotional rollercoaster of surrogacy, and the bittersweet joy of adoption, offering hope and comfort to others navigating similar paths.
With vulnerability and grace, Sarah reminds us that while grief can feel isolating, community and shared experiences can lighten the burden. Tune in for an honest conversation on love, loss, and the beauty of surrendering to the journey.
Don’t miss this powerful episode as we aim to normalize these sensitive topics and support those in their grieving process.
Trigger warning: This episode is part of a series focusing on different experiences related to pregnancy and infant loss. This story touches on sensitive subjects related to miscarriage, pregnancy complications and loss.
