Episode 14: Grief, Birth, & Silence.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, Dead Inside & Board Certified is having one of the conversations people avoid most: maternal mental health after stillbirth.

In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with a mother willing to share the reality of losing her baby, navigating postpartum recovery without a child, and surviving the psychological aftermath that follows. Together, we discuss grief, trauma, PTSD, isolation, identity loss, relationship strain, and the silence that often surrounds pregnancy loss.

This episode is raw, honest, and emotionally heavy — not for shock value, but because these stories deserve to be heard.

Maternal mental health is more than postpartum depression. It also includes the mother's carrying grief.

Content warning: discussion of stillbirth, pregnancy loss, trauma, postpartum mental health, and suicidality.
