What did you think of this episode?

Arielle wasn't a newcomer to grief and loss by the time her husband decided to take his own life when she was only 29.

She shares the highs, lows, and fears of navigating all of the unknowns and changes that came with losing her beloved, Rick. She wondered if she would ever love again, and because she and Rick couldn't have children together, she then had to face the possibility that she would never become a mother. Would she meet someone who would want to have children? Would she meet someone while she's still young enough to begin the chapter of parenthood? So many unknowns and the loss of hopes, dreams, and expectations.

Spoiler alert! Arielle does eventually remarry but wedded bliss doesn't last long. After three miscarriages, she and her new love wondered if their mutual dreams and desires to be parents would ever come true.

Every miscarriage was different, and she shares exactly how different they were in this episode and how she found her way to wellness. She also shares the one thing that helped her soothe her own soul, not to mention how she found her own way to share with others how she was feeling without the pressure of needing to have what are often uncomfortable conversations.
