Scenario

When family expects you to support someone through pregnancy loss

My sister and I are both dealing with pregnancy loss — hers was recent, mine was two years ago — and our family keeps asking me to 'help her through it' because I've 'been there' but I'm realizing her grief is triggering all my unprocessed stuff and I don't know how to support her without drowning.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Being cast as the experienced griever can reopen wounds while creating pressure to heal others before healing yourself.
